Embark on your postgraduate journey with the Art and Design MPhil at the University of Worcester, a programme designed for aspiring researchers ready to contribute original scholarship to the fields of illustration and popular image culture. This Master of Philosophy is ideal for those who wish to deepen their understanding of narrative illustration, street literature, or the historical and cultural contexts of visual art. You will engage with a dynamic research environment, developing critical analytical skills and a sophisticated understanding of contemporary art and design discourse.
This full-time, on-campus MPhil is structured over two years, with the possibility of extending to four. Your first year focuses on developing a comprehensive research proposal through dedicated modules like 'Developing as a Researcher' and 'Approaches to Research', alongside regular meetings with your supervisory team. In your second year, you will collect data and advance your research project, with opportunities to present findings at conferences. You will graduate with a robust research foundation, prepared for further doctoral study or a career in academia and the cultural industries.
