MPhil/PhD Art & Design (Research Opportunities)

The active research base in the School ensures that our staff are actively involved in current debates and that students are up-to-date with new developments and issues. Research students usually have two internal supervisors with specialist knowledge of their subject areas, and they have regular meetings with them for advice, monitoring and other support.

With the agreement of the Research Degrees Board, practical work may replace a part of the written thesis.

Main areas of research specialism:

• Contemporary Art Practice
• Curatorial Practice
• Design and Sustainability
• Heritage Conservation and Restoration
• Lens Media.

Please see individual staff profiles on the School website for further areas of research expertise: www.lincoln.ac.uk/lsad.

Students are introduced to the relevant research methods through taught modules and they are encouraged to give presentations to postgraduate seminars, which are held regularly throughout the year. 

There are also opportunities to apply for funding to attend conferences and to publish in conference proceedings and in refereed journals.

Self-funded opportunities to study to MSc, MPhil and PhD level are available across all our research active areas. Additionally, the School and the University will often advertise funded bursaries through channels such as www.jobs.ac.uk and on its own website - interested applicants are advised to check for these opportunities regularly. We can also help overseas students to apply for external scholarships.

For further information about fees, scholarships and bursaries please see our Fees & Funding pages.
