Course Description

MRes Photography provides an exciting opportunity for students to pursue an individual research project, which may be practice-based, historical, critical, curatorial or theoretical. We particularly welcome research proposals in the following areas: land and environment camera-less photography contemporary art practices documentary and reportage architectural photography and women?s photography. The programme engages current ideas and debates, skills and methodologies for research into or through photography. The programme comprises three assessed modules: ? Photography, the practice of research, shared with the taught masters programmes in photography (30 credits) ? Research in the arts and humanities (30 credits) ? A masters thesis or approved research project (120 credits) The projectthesis may be assessed entirely through written work, or through a substantial practical project accompanied by an extended contextual essay. Full-time students take photography, the practice of research in term one, research in the arts and humanities in terms one and two, and their projectthesis across the whole academic year. Part-time students take the two taught modules in year one and carry out their projectthesis in year two. The projectthesis is taught via one-to-one supervision during term time and through contact by arrangement up to final submission in September. Students are also encouraged to attend research seminars in a wide variety of arts disciplines, and faculty-wide training events. Programme content We will help you to locate your chosen project in relation to the latest theoretical and conceptual approaches in photography studies and beyond. This programme explicitly embeds research skills to prepare graduates for an MPhilPhD.
