Research overview
- Are you passionate about digging deeper into art history?
- Do you want the time, support and skills to carry out research?
The MRes is a substantial piece of original work and can be ideal if:
- you cannot commit to a PhD but still have a topic you want to research further
- your topic doesn't require three-years of PhD study
- you want to develop your research and academic skills before starting a PhD
It can also be an advantage when applying for PhD funding as it demonstrates existing interest and research skills.
