Students will complete an original thesis during this year of study. Staff in Art and Design are available to supervise MPhil research on a wide range of topics. The school has extensive research capabilities in the following areas:
- Chinese art and aesthetics
- Critical and cultural theory
- Design history
- Digital design (animation, moving image, gaming, web, post production and film)
- Fashion and textiles (knit, print, textile, fashion and costume design).
It is expected that graduates with a Master of Philosophy will have gained the necessary skills and qualifications to follow an academic or research career leading to a Doctor of Philosophy. Alternatively, their research topic may lead them to a position of expertise in their chosen field of Art and Design.
