MRes Creative Practice
The Creative Practice MRes is a Master's level course, which takes full advantage of the rich culture of practice-based research in art, architecture, design and media based in the University of Westminster's School of Arts and College of Design, Creative and Digital Industries. Over one year full-time or two years part-time, you'll develop your own art, media or design practice, supported by an exciting programme of seminars, group discussion, specialist advice and supervision, to complete a major research project related to your creative practice. Your time on the MRes will culminate in an exhibition or screening presentation and a written reflection on your research.
The Creative Practice MRes is an ideal stepping stone to further practice-based PhD research, as well as a unique opportunity to realise an ambitious creative project with the support of research-led practitioners across the field of the arts and media, as part of the internationally renowned Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM) – the UK’s top-rated general art and design research centre.
The course offers access to the excellent resources of Westminster School of Arts, not only through its research culture at CREAM, but also to its excellent facilities in photography, film and media, ceramics and 2D and 3D design.
The course enables you to develop your practice and research skills in arts and media towards the completion of your research project, supported by expert supervision from eminent artists, theorists and designers, as part of CREAM’s extensive practice-based doctoral programme.
You'll work under the close supervision of a researcher practitioner in your field of specialism, who will assist you in the development of your individual research project.
You'll have the opportunity to select and attend seminar programmes alongside CREAM’s doctorate students and MA students: both in the School of Arts, as well as other courses and programmes across the University, in a range of different art subjects relating to your interests.
Our current range of research expertise includes fine art, photography, experimental and documentary moving image, digital art, curation, music and experimental sound, architecture, performance, fashion and ceramics.
