Study courses or secondments will be arranged, along with involvement in research methodology and post-graduate seminars. The major research project will encompass both practical exploration and historical/theoretical investigative methodologies and will culminate in the public presentation of a work, or series of works, directed by the student. This will be supported and complemented by a research paper of 15,000 words.
