Full Time
Sep 2027
1 Year
Conduct meaningful research across architecture, communication, design, fine art and the experimental humanities. Learn from research-active practitioners who will share their interests and expertise as historians, curators, designers and artists. The MRes RCA is interdisciplinary: students from the fields of architecture, communication, design, fine art and the experimental humanities come together in a single programme to think about their practice as transforming, and being transformed by, work in other disciplines.
