If you are looking to undertake research in a specific area of humanities, the creative arts, culture, journalism or media, this Masters in Research (MRes) is the ideal postgraduate course. The MRes is designed for individuals with a clear idea of which direction they want their academic studies to go in by enabling you to study your chosen cultural or creative field in depth and develop the necessary research and study skills. The MRes is staffed by experts in a range of different disciplines who have extensive experience in research and who are actively engaged in a number of varied research projects. The MRes differs in a number of ways to a taught MA through its emphasis on an in-depth independent study. You will select the subject you want your research to focus on which will determine the name of the award you are working towards. Your research project can take the form of either a solely written dissertation or a combination of writing and practice.

The MRes at UWE Bristol is designed primarily to provide a foundation for further study at doctoral level. It also suited to those wishing to establish or advance their career in the creative and cultural industries. You will be equipped with a range of transferable skills, including skills in research, communication, presentations, critical analysis, independent study and intellectual rigour all of which will prove invaluable, whether you are looking to pursue further academic study or establish yourself as an expert in your chosen creative or cultural field. You will have access to career planning and employability support while you are studying with us (and for three years after you graduate) through the University's careers service.
