Course content

The MRes in Visual Cultures is ideal if you have already completed an advanced course of study in art history and theory but would like to further develop your thought and research projects before studying at MPhil/PhD level.

The programme is assessed primarily by a dissertation on a topic of your choice, with additional assessed taught courses in research methods. It qualifies you to carry out higher research, but is also a degree in its own right and can be tailored to suit your requirements.
