Our interdisciplinary space is one of freedom, risk, and experimentation. Disciplines are traversed. Possibilities are explored. Hierarchies are critiqued. Knowledge is not only amassed but shared. Joining us, you’ll ask, ‘what is research?’ and explore what it brings to creative practice across writing and making.
Our Master of Research RCA brings together students from architecture, communication, design, fine art and the experimental humanities to transform their research and practice in dialogue with other disciplines.
When applying, you choose a specialism, which will be your central discipline. You will be assigned an expert supervisor for closer supervision of your research project.
