We support innovative art research in fine art, curating, art writing and across disciplines.
- The MPhil/PhD Art is a 3-4 year (full-time) or 6-8 year (part-time) research project, the pursuit of which may involve your already established practice or may require the development of new modes of practice specific to the project.
- Research degrees in this department have two elements: the research work that you carry out individually under supervision, and a programme of seminars and installations that bring you into dialogue with other research students and a wider community inside and outside Goldsmiths.
- We welcome proposals for research in any area of fine art, curating and art writing. We give priority to those with proposals for research within the areas of interest of our staff.
