There is also a new course starting in 2012 in the Arts. This new, unique masters degree (MRes) in Arts and Cultural Research is aimed at art and design graduates wishing to develop a research-based practice, as well as those interested in theory-based research.

The course is underpinned by training in research skills and methods, drawing upon the faculty’s expertise in art and design, humanities and the social sciences. Option modules in these fields further support students in an individual research project. Visit  www.arts.brighton.ac.uk/research/mres for more details.
