What is involved in an MA by Research degree?

• You’ll be expected to work to an approved programme of work, which you will develop in conjunction with your supervisor, whilst undertaking the research project, you will also develop your research skills.

• You will be appointed a main supervisor who will normally be part of a supervisory team, comprising up to three members, to advise and support you on your project.

• At the end of the project, you’ll write up your findings in the form of a thesis of around 25,000 words, which will then be examined. We accept applications for projects which are practice-oriented and include portfolio submissions. These include practice submissions with written components. You’ll receive guidance from your supervisory team as to the percentage equivalents between the practice and written elements of your research.

• Our research degrees are available to study full-time and part-time, and some are offered as distance learning.
