What will I learn?

We support innovative art research in fine art, curating, art writing and across disciplines.The MPhil/PhD Art is a 3-4 year (full-time) or 6-8 year (part-time) research project, the pursuit of which may involve your already established practice or may require the development of new modes of practice specific to the project.Research degrees in this department have two elements: the research work that you carry out individually under supervision, and a programme of seminars and installations that bring you into dialogue with other research students and a wider community inside and outside Goldsmiths.Pathway 2: Thesis by Practice and Written Dissertation The thesis comprises a body of studio practice, curatorial practice and/or art writing practice and a written dissertation of 40,000-80,000 words for PhD (20,000-40,000 for MPhil), presented together as an integrated whole. The thesis will be accompanied by a considered form of documentation, as appropriate to the project.
