Hi I'm Dr Claire Jones, I'm a lecturer
in the Department of Art History
Curating and Visual Studies, I'm also
director of postgraduate studies and
convener of the MA in Art History and
Curating. the MA by Research and the PhD
in Art History are aimed at students who
already quite sure of their search topic
and have a very specific area in art
history that aligns with research in
the department that we can support them
fully through dissertations supervisions
and helps them pursue those research
projects. The assessment for an MA by
Research is a 40,000 word
dissertation and the assessment of a PhD
is an 80,000 word dissertation. The research
degrees in History of Art can be
conducted both off-site and on campus, as
research degrees you're often going off
into archives and different museum
collections in order to conduct your
research, possibly not always in the UK
as well, you might be securing grants to
go and conduct some of your research
abroad for example. The first thing to do
is to contact a member of staff to see
if your research aligns with theirs and
to develop a research proposal together
so if you look at our online web pages
and the department you'll be able to get
a sense of our research interest and
find someone to contact from there and
then you'll have to apply formally to PG
admissions to be taken onto the
programme. We are open in terms of when you
can apply, there's no closing date so you
can apply throughout the year and
we're also flexible in terms of
part-time and full-time research and
also start dates.
