Course summary
This is normally a three-year degree, which enables you to work full-time on a research project, resulting in a thesis of 80,000 words, followed by an oral examination.
Supervisors
Postgraduate research students in the School of Art History are supported by a supervisory team, consisting of a principal supervisor, and either a secondary supervisor, or a designated mentor. They have personal desk spaces in shared offices in the School building, with access to scanning and printing facilities. Research students receive an annual allowance to support research expenses and may request research resource acquisitions for the University Library, which is located only a few steps away from the School. Doctoral students may also apply to the Catherine and Alfred Forrest Trust, which provides generous bursaries to support international research travel and other research expenses.
Research Proposal
Once you have made contact with a relevant staff member, you should prepare a research proposal, which provides a detailed outline of the area of research that you wish to pursue. If you are applying for an MSt (Res), we recommend that your proposal is around 800-1000 words in length. For the PhD programme, your proposal should be between 1000-1500 words.
Your proposal should refer to scholarship that is relevant to your research topic and explain how your project provides a different perspective on the subject. References should also be included. Where appropriate, your text should also be accompanied by properly captioned images. In addition, you should provide a substantial bibliography listing relevant publications.
