The MRes History of Art is aimed
at a student who maybe doesn't yet wish
to pursue doctoral research but wishes
to really develop a specific research
area so we support them with individual
tutorials and dissertation supervisions;
and they can draw on the wealth of
expertise within the department, tap into
the variety of modules we offer them as
well to complement their dissertation
research. As well as their dissertation,
on the MRes History of Art students
take two core modules: Criticism and
Methods, and Research Techniques which
develop your research skills and then
you have a one optional module and you
can dip into a variety of subjects that
the department offers ranging from
medieval Illustrated manuscripts right
up to global contemporary arts. So one of
the key facilities that we have here at
Birmingham is the Barber Institute of
Fine Arts, as students are taught within
this internationally renowned art
gallery and they're taught within small
seminar groups in our lecture spaces and
our seminar room and let me go up into
the galleries to further the students
learning as well. I'd advise anyone
applying for the MRes History of Art
to have a really good look on our
departmental web pages to get a sense of
staff research, to get a sense of the
types of modules that we're offering, and
see if that aligns with your research
areas for your dissertation, and then to
get in touch with us.
