MRes - Master of Research
Urology
This course has been designed to facilitate an inclusive and diverse creative environment for future artistic researchers. Here is your opportunity to rigorously explore, trial, test, and share, through research, practice, and creativity.
This research degree has been developed for the furtherment of artistic research and professional development of artists from a variety of disciplines. These include:
Performance (acting and theatre)
Music (composition/production)
Media Production (film making and intermedial performance)
Visual performance (installation)
On this course, you will embark on extensive research into your chosen topic that suits the course overview’s disciplines. Your developing research will be informed by varied research methodologies, cutting-edge principles, theories, and critical analysis. Your research will focus on your chosen topic in relation to ethics, ethnography and autoethnography, aligned with the scope of artistic research.
Your practice, artistic mode, and personal creative journey will allow you to shape your degree. As a researcher, you will develop essential aspects of critical and creative inquiry, to provoke thought and enthuse your reflective capabilities, within a contextual critical awareness. The course will provide you with the essential knowledges of artistic research methodologies, and understanding and awareness of recent artistic research literature, practices and bodies of artistic work.
The course is designed for you to develop theoretical, methodological, ethical, interrogative, practical, creative and reflective approaches to building your artistic practice. Research techniques will be informed by creative processes which offer findings within and through both the artistic dissemination, in a range of domains, and in writing.
You will study 2 30-credit taught modules with students across different disciplines within the School of the Arts. While carrying out the research project for the 120-credit thesis, you'll be welcomed into our community of postgraduate research students.
This module is your critical introduction to the theoretical and practical research methods used in artistic research. You'll interrogate practices across performing arts, fine art and design. Throughout your learning, you'll develop skills areas, including:
Your learning will be informed by research ethics as well as situated, place and space specific research.
Your research is based around your chosen subject area. On this module, you'll uncover and reflect upon your specific subject. The methods used will be within a cultural artistic field that aligns with your own practice. You'll be connected culturally, socially and critically with the latest developments within arts practice.
This module will support independent practice through action and reflection so that creative processes from within a practice can be articulated in connection with a developing research enquiry and methodology. Your learning will feed into both the creative and the critical elements of the final 120 credit thesis module, as a foundational support where knowledge and the transfer of that knowledge of a specific subject matter clearly shapes your identity as a practice led researcher.
This module acts as a showcase of you as an artist, maturing into the professional you aim to be. You'll produce significant work, or a body of works that represent the culmination of your skills, knowledge and creativity. In addition, you'll develop a critical and contextual exegesis. This explanation of text should articulate and communicate your practice in relation to current practice in their chosen field.
The IAP is your project. Working with your supervisors, you'll develop your own aims, driven by the following:
