Based in the world's most influential university of art and design, the School of Humanities Research Programme offers a unique opportunity to undertake scholarly research of the highest quality in a wholly postgraduate environment. Our disciplinary interests span the fine arts, design, architecture, film, photography, performance and digital media. We embrace and encourage a broad range of interests in research across the history, theory and practice of art, design, curating and critical writing and criticism as creative practices; and we are committed to extending the reach of these fields into new geographical and intellectual terrains.
As a Humanities research student, you play a key role in the life of the School of Humanities, an environment offering postgraduate programmes in Critical & Historical Studies, Curating Contemporary Art, Critical Writing in Art & Design, and V&A/RCA History of Design (with the Victoria and Albert Museum). You will also have access to all schools' facilities, shared events and courses as well as to other programmes by request. Each student follows their own programme of research developed in their proposal under the guidance of an assigned supervisor who will be a member of the regular Humanities faculty. There are currently around 60 full-time and part-time MPhil/PhD students (by thesis and by project); together they form a lively community of writers, thinkers and makers with close relations to the artists and designers studying in other parts of the Royal College of Art, often sharing skills and interests through symposia and exhibitions. Many have gone on to publish their research and to establish significant careers in the arts. "Like all good researchers, our students produce new ways of thinking about and understanding the world. Our role is to nurture the historians, theorists, curators, writers, journalists and critics of the future." —Dr Marquard Smith, Research Leader and Head of Doctoral Studies, School of Humanities The official deadline for applications is 13 January 2014, but we welcome year-round applications.
