Our Graduate School is an exciting, research-intensive environment for a diverse group of full- and part-time postgraduate students engaged in a variety of research areas, supervised by leading academic specialists.
The Graduate School encompasses more than 170 postgraduates, most on taught (MA) programmes, and some researching art and design to PhD level. All postgraduate students have the opportunity to take part in regular research seminars, the PhD student forum, and exhibitions of practice-led research. They gain experience of presenting research at conferences, within the School of Art and at the Faculty of Law, Arts and Social Sciences, and they participate in inter-university symposia, national and international conferences and exhibitions.
As a member of the Graduate School, you will have access to excellent workshops, study areas and media facilities, lectures by leading visiting professionals, and contact with senior researchers across the University. Your supervisory team will work with you to identify the research skills you need and you will be able to attend a range of training courses within the School and the Faculty to obtain them. Training sessions cover research project management, preparing for examination and publication, as well as the technical and practical skills appropriate to our project.
