Overview

The Masters by Research (MRes) Creative Arts programme is a flexible, research-focused course designed to provide graduates with a strong foundation for careers in research, the arts, the public or private sector, or further academic study such as a PhD. The programme delivers high-quality postgraduate training in research methods and practice, alongside the development of transferable skills that support advanced study within a specialist area of the arts or humanities. It aims to equip students with advanced knowledge, specialised research skills, and the attributes required for both academic and professional research careers. A strong emphasis is placed on independent scholarship, critical reflection, and professional development. Students develop a thorough understanding of research processes and methodologies, leading to the production of a research proposal and a reflective evaluation of their professional development and future career goals. The course fosters integration within a wider community of research-focused postgraduate students in the arts and humanities at Birmingham City University, contributing to a dynamic and collaborative learning environment. It prepares students for doctoral study by supporting the development of expertise in a chosen area, culminating in an independent research project. This may take the form of a dissertation or practice-based work, guided by expert supervision from experienced researchers. The flexible structure of the programme allows students to shape their learning in line with their individual interests, ambitions, and professional objectives.
