MRes - Master of Research
Royal College of Art- Battersea Campus
Full Time
Sep 2026
1 Year
Conduct meaningful research across architecture, communication, design, fine art and the experimental humanities. Learn from research-active practitioners who will share their interests and expertise as historians, curators, designers and artists. The MRes RCA is interdisciplinary: students from the fields of architecture, communication, design, fine art and the experimental humanities come together in a single programme to think about their practice as transforming, and being transformed by, work in other disciplines. Students come to us to pursue a project of their choosing through thesis and practice in dialogue with one another. Assured in their practices as artists, for example (or as writers, curators, architects, product designers, visual communicators – and the list goes on), students come to develop their knowledge of a topic that feels vital to them, which they filter through their practice.
