This is the College’s first one-year programme, and is expected to be highly popular with applicants. Featured in Art&Education’s influential School Watch, the RCA is renowned for world-leading research and for the high quality of learning it offers. The new MRes (RCA) is specially designed to provide students with the intellectual, technical and professional tools with which to undertake innovative and experimental research projects. The programme will offer specialist pathways in: Architecture, Communication, Design, Fine Art and Humanities.
Dr Emma Wakelin, Director of Research said: 'We’re very excited about our new MRes programme. What makes it so unique is that it crosses traditional disciplinary and professional boundaries, preparing students for research at doctoral level or to work at an advanced level in the cultural and creative industries.'
MRes RCA programmes will be delivered through a combination of: structured learning, comprising of lectures and masterclasses by practitioners and senior academics; workshop classes based around a set task (a ‘brief’); tutor-led seminar classes where students will be asked to reflect on material that they have read or studied in advance; and project assignments that support the structured teaching programme.
