Research Degrees at University of the Arts London

University of the Arts London was the ideal place to develop my research degree. I had brilliant and well recognised supervisors, and holding a PhD from the University opens many doors. Dr Flavia Amadeu – PhD (Fashion Design), 2016

Length of study

A Master of Philosophy (MPhil) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the University of the Arts London is achieved through an individual research project in a programme of study. Research students engage in a programme of independent research with guidance from their supervisors. Each student has a team of supervisors (a Director of Studies and one or two co-supervisors).

Programmes of research may be proposed in any field of study within the expertise of the University, provided that the proposed programme is capable of leading to scholarly research and to its presentation for assessment by appropriate examiners.

A research degree is characterised by the sustained, rigorous and critical investigation of a defined subject, by the openness of the research methods and results to evaluation by others, and by the contribution to public knowledge and understanding of its outcome. When creative work forms a significant part of the research programme, references to the ‘thesis’ are understood to mean the totality of the submission for the degree, which will include the creative work and/or documentation of the creative work, and the written text.

Research Degrees at University of the Arts London

Student support

There is a wide variety of support available at the University to help you while you study, covering areas such as accommodation, careers, library and computer use, health, wellbeing and language learning.

The Student Centre at our High Holborn site in central London hosts the support services for students across the University under one roof. It houses the Student Advice Service, the Language Centre, the Learning Zone, Students’ Union, galleries for student and alumni work, a café-bar and an activities studio.

More information is available from Student Services or at www.arts.ac.uk/study-at-ual/.

International students

The international student body is one of the characteristics of the University that contributes to the range and quality of our research community. Each College has an International Student Co-ordinator, who leads international affairs at the College, and is the first point of contact for international students.

Within Student Services at your College or at High Holborn a Student Adviser can help with queries about immigration, money matters or your rights in the UK, like banking, part-time work and healthcare. The Student Adviser (International Students) ensures that Student Services support is available and relevant to all our international students. The Student Services website www.arts.ac.uk/study-at-ual/ has the latest information on practical issues that affect international students and hosts a mailing list aimed at the University’s international community.

I was close to some of the world’s leading libraries (including the University’s own) and specialist research networks. Being in London made a huge impact on my development as a researcher and subject specialist.Dr Lipi Begum – PhD (Art and Design: History and Theory), 2015

Research Training in the context of research degree programmes does not just involve engaging with the formal programmes offered in RNUAL, it also consists of the many other activities in which you are likely or expected to become involved; for example: attending, organising or participating in conferences, scholarly seminars; organising or participating in exhibitions; involvement in other professional activities for arts organisations, networks, or other external research groups.

Research Training

RNUAL (Research Network University of the Arts London) is an extensive training programme in research methods and skills, and is a very important feature of studying for a research degree at the University. It is a cross-college initiative bringing together research degree students in a series of seminars and training sessions to develop research skills, and as a forum for students to present their work at different stages in their study. The RNUAL programmes are delivered by a wide range of researchers and experts from both within and outside the University. RNUAL is not a taught course, it is offered as a flexible training programme. Students negotiate their own use of it in relation to their field of study and their training needs in addition to the three compulsory units which have to be completed in the first year.

All University of the Arts London students have free membership of International Students House, which offers a programme of social and cultural events, sport facilities, a travel club, and a residential programme at Christmas.

More information is available from the International Office or www.arts.ac.uk/study-at-ual/international/.

Entry requirements

The normal minimum entry requirement for a place on the Research Degrees Programme is an upper second class honours (2:1) degree of a British university or recognised institution of higher education, or an equivalent qualification from an institution outside of the UK.

However, a Master’s degree in an appropriate subject is considered to be a particularly valuable preparation for the academic and intellectual demands of an MPhil or PhD. In some instances, applicants without the minimum academic requirement as outlined above may be considered for a place on the Research Degrees Programme if they can demonstrate appropriate alternative qualifications, relevant professional experience, or previous research.

Funding opportunities

Funding opportunities for PhD students are available from the University’s website www.arts.ac.uk/research/research-degrees/funding-opportunities/.

Full information about funding schemes is normally released in December for funding to start in the next academic year i.e. from September.

Writing an outline of proposed research

When you apply to enrol as a research student you will need to prepare an outline proposal. This will be used as the basis for discussion at your interview. It will also be the starting point for preparing your submission to register the programme with the University’s Research Degrees Sub-Committee.

We would encourage you to use the headings below to define the sections of your proposal.

Title This should express the main area of investigation, implying its questions and potential argument or standpoint. While being a working title, which will inevitably change over time, it is important that you are as specific and precise as possible. The title should be brief, and reflect the main question of the project. You should avoid over-long or technical words and phrases such as ‘an investigation into…’

Subject area, aims and objectives. Briefly define your subject and the main concerns of the investigation, including a set of aims and objectives that will guide your research. If your proposal is primarily practice-based you should also use this section to describe your practice. It is worth thinking hard about this section, as it will form the basis of your study for the next few years (though it will inevitably evolve as you make progress).

After defining your subject, you might find it helpful to consider the main concerns of the project as questions you are asking yourself, to which you hope to find the answer or as issues that your research will address. The aims and objectives are important because they, in a sense, declare the criteria for your investigation, against which the success or failure of your project can be assessed.

If you find it difficult to articulate your aims and objectives you might find it helpful to think of your aims as the most significant questions or problems you hope to tackle. Your objectives are the steps by which you will meet these aims. Your proposal should normally have one or two aims, followed by a series of up to six objectives. The idea is that by the time you have met all your objectives, you should have achieved your aims.

The research seminar programme is comprehensive and exciting, and I’ve had great support from both my supervisors and the other students.Sara Chong Kwan – PhD student (Art and Design: History and Theory)

If English is not your first language, you will normally need to demonstrate that you are suitably proficient in English before we can enrol you in the Research Degrees Programme. You can do this by providing evidence of one of the following:

– A recent University of the Arts London-approved English Language Test (ELT) score which meets the University’s requirements for the Research Degrees Programme: either an IELTS minimum overall test result score of 7.0 with a 7.0 in writing and with no other component score lower than 6.0, or an equivalent test score;

– Recent completion of an MA level course of study (Distinction only) in a majority English- speaking country.

By ‘recent’ we mean that your English Language Test score or MA level qualification needs to have been awarded no more than two years prior to the date that you would first enrol in the Research Degrees Programme at the University. We cannot normally accept evidence that is older than this.

You may submit an application for a place on the Research Degrees Programme before you have obtained your IELTS or equivalent test score, or before you have received your MA certificate, but if you are offered a place then you would need to provide evidence of having satisfied this condition before we can enrol you.

Each applicant is assessed on an individual basis and if you are offered a place on the Research Degrees Programme, then depending on your level of English language proficiency as demonstrated through your application form and interview, we will inform you whether we would require a new IELTS result before you can begin your PhD studies.

Please note that we can no longer accept TOEFL test results for this purpose.

How to apply

All information regarding the application procedure, deadlines and the relevant forms can be found on our website at www.arts.ac.uk/research/research-degrees/apply-for-a-research-degree/.

Research Degrees at University of the Arts London

Studying in London is in itself a first-class educational experience. In addition to what you might gain from your formal training, the cultural offer at museums, galleries, events, exhibitions and talks by leading intellectuals and artists is extraordinary.Ana Laura Lopez de la Torre – PhD student (Fine Art)

Work plan Make a prediction of the major stages of the work (probably not more than five) and the minor subdivisions (if appropriate). Take care if aspects of the research will run concurrently.

Prediction of the form of the final presentation Think about the form of the final presentation, for example:

– will this be a wholly written thesis?

– will it be a written thesis with DVDs?

– will it be an exhibition and a written thesis?

– will it be a written thesis with images?

Main study list and bibliography List the main reference works that you will use for your research (no more than one page of A4). These may be films, paintings, TV programmes, curated collections or websites as well as books or journal articles. Citations must be consistent and adopt a recognised standard system, for example, Harvard (with or without footnotes) or Numeric.

Historical context There is no single history that suits all investigations but you should identify the various strands of history that relate to your particular research. It may be a history of ideas and concepts that have influenced the development of a particular area of art and design, the history of the medium or technology in which you work, or a particular part of the history of art or design.

Contemporary context As far as you are able, identify the contemporary work that relates to your field of investigation.

You must do this for the following reasons:

– to demonstrate that you are aware of the field in which you are working;

– to demonstrate that your proposed research will have distinct features which will make it potentially original;

– to form the basis of links with other research work to which you will contribute or on which you will build.

Theoretical context There is a great choice of options in this area, none of them exclusive. An element of theoretical context is important for every kind of project, though the degree of theoretical content will vary, particularly for practice-based work. You should be able to demonstrate the ways in which you evaluate your own work and that of others, as well as the sources you use to inform your evaluation. A theoretical context will help you avoid simply asserting a position and support you in the reflective approach that is needed for a research degree.

Methodology Your research method and approach will need to be defined in all cases but in practice based areas of study, methodologies are less well established, so you may like to think about the following:

– try to describe the basic methods and procedures you will adopt in discovering and recording research information.

– if it is a practice-based proposal, how does the theory relate to the practical experimentation?

– what is the theory for?

– what process of experimentation will you use?

– how will you record what you do and keep track of what you have done?

Ethical dimensions of the research If you consider there are ethical considerations that need to be taken into account then you should address them briefly in your application. There is a comprehensive ethical approval process, which is intended to safeguard researchers, participants and others on whom the proposed research might impact, directly or indirectly, which can be found on our website www.arts.ac.uk/research/researching-at-ual/researcher-support/.

If you are offered a place to study you will address any ethical issues formally when you apply to register your research proposal in your first year. In broad terms, the University expects all research to respect participants’ rights (commercial, intellectual and civil, dignity – including privacy and confidentiality), safety and well-being.

Our research activities are frequently grounded in the portfolio of art and design subjects represented by our taught Masters programmes. They offer new and challenging ways of thinking about how specific disciplines can share common concerns and questions. Issues surrounding the practice, theoretical and historical contexts of fine art, design, curating and collections, theatre and performance are developed and interrogated through a focused research approach of contemporary relevance. We are particularly interested in research degree proposals that will engage with and respond to our core disciplines and draw on the research expertise of our staff.

The Camberwell, Chelsea, Wimbledon Graduate School Public Programme, along with the activities of TrAIN (Transnational Art, Identity and Nation) and the conservation and archiving centre Ligatus (the two University of the Arts London Research Centres hosted by the Graduate School) provide a rich calendar of events to inform and enhance the broader taught course and college based activities.

Research Centres – Centre for Fashion Curation

The CfFC PhD supervisory team includes leading practitioners and theorists in the field of fashion curation crossing many different disciplines and fields. These include fashion history and exhibition-making; the history of womenswear and menswear; studies in gender and sexuality; object- and ideas-led exhibition-making; oral histories and archival practices; and the biography of objects and material culture. The Centre is fortunate to have three professors specialising in the field who all currently supervise PhD students: Amy de la Haye, Judith Clark and Claire Wilcox. Further supervisors include Dr Shaun Cole (Associate Dean, Postgraduate Communities at London College of Fashion), Dr Jeffrey Horsley (Post-doctoral Research Fellow in fashion curation) and Ligaya Salazar (curator, Fashion Space Gallery, London College of Fashion).

Our PhD students come from broad backgrounds and disciplines – from fashion studies to literature, history to sociology, fashion-makers to exhibition-makers. They are united by rigorous interrogation of what the practice of dress display and narratives in exhibitions could be. The interdisciplinary nature of fashion studies is perfectly exemplified in the breadth of research currently being undertaken by CfFC’s academic researchers, and PhD students. Fashion and museological theory forms a fundamental building block upon which students frame their research. They can complete practice-based research degrees or conventional theses.

A core aim is to become an international leader in educating future practitioners in the field, equipping them with curatorial expertise appropriate to fashion. Research students explore notions of fashion and curation across a broad range of subject areas, from sociological and anthropological perspectives, to material culture, life-writing and museological methodologies, on subjects such as personal wardrobes, the fashion industry, exhibition and diverse curatorial interventions.

Alumni from the MA and PhD programmes are working in leading institutions and as freelancers in many countries including, amongst others, China, France, Italy, Sweden, America, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Russia and Malaysia.

The work of the Centre for Sustainable Fashion (CSF) is situated in the field of research of design for sustainability, explored specifically in its application to fashion, where it draws upon multiple philosophies, approaches and methods.

Centre for Sustainable Fashion – CSF

Director Professor Dilys WilliamsWebsite www.sustainable-fashion.comTwitter @sustfashFacebook www.facebook.com/centreforsustainablefashion

Research Centres – Centre for Sustainable Fashion

CSF seeks to make a distinctive contribution to sustainability futures by leveraging fashion’s role in identifying and connecting us to our time and place, its role at the centre of contemporary society, as a global industry and as an attractor of people in order to foster new understandings of change and also to create it. Drawing on theory and practice of the field of design for sustainability, research activity tends towards trans-disciplinary work and to projects rooted in people and nature that critique and push beyond a reductionist approach to sustainability change and the industry status quo.

Current and recent PhD students cross a number of boundaries, including working in relation to design for lower impact in clothes maintenance, design for different lengths of life, clothing with embedded technology related to wellbeing, mending, designing to foster a closer relationship with nature, the practices of social innovation.

Research Centres – Centre for Sustainable Fashion

36 | 37

Many of our PhD students come from a background as design practitioners in fashion, textiles or product development, design-based knowledge which is used to inform and direct the research journey. This may involve, for example, the production and evaluation of prototypes, the development of new concepts and processes, or recommendations for designers. All our researchers synthesise a number of different bodies of knowledge in the development of their ideas, creating unique profiles, methods and cross-disciplinary expertise. In this way, we nurture researchers who can feel confident with both the theoretical basis of their ideas and with practical applications.

Other PhD candidates may choose to apply their theoretical and practice-based knowledge to particular situations and needs, such as developing new processes or products in relation to specific communities, either in the UK or overseas. CSF research catalyses fashion thinking and design, creating synergy between design, technology, science and industry.

Our supervisory teams comprise world-leading researchers based at Centre for Sustainable Fashion, with deep experience and expertise in fashion, textiles and sustainability and in both creative and more traditional practices of research. These include Dilys Williams, CSF Director and Professor of Fashion Design for Sustainability; Sandy Black, Professor of Fashion and Textile Design and Technology; Helen Storey, Professor of Fashion and Science; Lucy Orta, Professor of Fashion, Art and Environment; and Dr Kate Fletcher, Professor of Sustainability, Design, Fashion, who also leads the CSF PhD community.

Research Centres – Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice

years, amongst many individual successes, our PhD students have collectively contributed artistic work to the Sound Portal installation at Chelsea College of Arts, performed at the White Cube Bermondsey as part of the Christian Marclay exhibition, delivered lectures at the Soundscapes exhibition at the National Gallery and participated in the Sound Passages symposium at the Università Iuav, Venice.

Our members have lectured and performed around the world and have had their work produced on BBC Radio 3, Channel Four, ResonanceFM and elsewhere. We have a large network of national and international associates. CRiSAP is also involved with the delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in the Sound Arts and Design department. at London College of Communication.

CRiSAP derived its initial impetus from the research activities of key personnel in the London College of Communication’s School of Media. It has since gone on to foster connections with many of the other colleges in the University and to develop collaborations with relevant external individuals and institutions.

To date, activities include published books: In The Field, Sinister Resonance, On Listening, Autumn Leaves with an accompanying audio compilation (winner of a Qwartz Electronic Music Award 2008); and Playing With Words: the spoken word in artistic practice; Performance: events connected with the Her Noise archive at the Tate Modern, London and in Oslo; events connected with Playing With Words at the Small Publisher’s Fair, Conway Hall, London and Gallus Theatre, Frankfurt; Co-curation of a Sound Escapes exhibition at Space; commission of two innovative software applications: Speechcutter for the manipulation of recorded vocal material and Déjà Vu, a powerful ‘sound seeker’ designed to work with large audio databases.

CRiSAP has curated a series of online exhibitions including Clickanywhere, exploring the edges between the audible and the visible, Vermilion Sounds, a showcase of the long running environmental sound radio programme, and Not For Human Consumption, an online exhibition of material related to sound phenomena that is inaudible or impossibly loud.

DAC has learned to respect a wide range of creative as well as functional requirements, such as social inclusivity and energy efficiency, and to understand the need for community engagement in all projects, delivering design with the people, for the people and sometimes by the people. This demands careful research into the nature of the crime problem: the techniques of perpetrators in stealing, robbing or committing fraud, for example. It also requires much iterative trial and improvement, testing prototypes with diverse stakeholders whilst also adopting a quantitative approach to measure the impact of our designs on crime.

Professionals in local government, transport, the police, the banking industry or mobile phone service providers, for example, may need to select and deploy the products of secure design, whether off-the-shelf or bespoke. Alternatively, they may have a wider requirement to draw

Research Centres – Design Against Crime Research Centre

on design in their thinking – in other words, when devising crime preventive solutions of their own – and they have to use innovation and design-like processes themselves. This is because context strongly determines whether an intervention works in reducing crime and improving quality of wlife, and whether it is workable.

Design Against Crime (DAC) is a socially responsive, practice-based research initiative, which uses the processes and products of design to reduce all kinds of crime and promote community safety whilst improving quality-of-life.

DAC poses many exciting challenges, both for the design profession and for those who use design. Designers need to be far more creative than criminals, who are known to be adaptive and innovative. Often, the wider design dilemma is how to design objects, services, and environments that address both users and abusers, without making the products look ‘criminal’ or security-obsessed.

We therefore have to prove and promote the social and commercial benefits of creativity in addressing crime and other social issues linked to behaviour change to government and to manufacturing and service industries, as well as to those concerned with the ‘social economy’. We also seek to transfer practice that has a strong evidence-base of success to other social issues to be addressed by design, such as health, ageing, climate change and finance, via our Socially Responsive Design and Innovation (SRvDI) focus.

At DAC we aim to build interdisciplinary and international collaborations to develop and share the richest academic and cultural base for DAC and SRvDI. For prospective PhD students – whether designers or users of design – we offer unparalleled scope for cross- or interdisciplinary study, ranging from conventionally academic to practice-based; from product to communications or service design; with various active partners from academia (especially crime science and criminology), government, commerce and industry. We have learned to effectively address social concerns using design and we will continue to work on crime, as well as embracing other problems, where design can help deliver social change and transfer trusted design methods and models to address the difficult social issues that face us.

Research Centres – Design Against Crime Research Centre

Many different interests, individuals and organisations are usually involved when we attempt to prevent crime, and often social innovation becomes as important as technological innovation. At the cultural level, too, DAC poses challenges to the designer and the policy maker in choosing, for example, whether to treat graffiti as a crime or a negotiable creative practice. Resistance to any design contribution delivered has to be faced and our case made, whether to leading architects who refuse to accept that it is their role to combat crime, to sceptical police officers or to commercial companies seeking to avoid yet another constraint and cost imposed for the good of society.

Research Centres – Ligatus Research Centre

Bookbinding terminology

Ligatus is leading the development of a terminology for historic bookbinding. Following a project which resulted in a detailed bookbinding glossary and a methodology to record historic bookbindings. Over the past two years, Ligatus has led a large network of European partners in the development of a widely adopted bookbinding thesaurus based on semantic web standards. This has resulted in a detailed online glossary of bookbinding terms (www.ligatus.org.uk/lob) and a recommended methodology for recording historic bookbindings, to be described in the forthcoming book: Coming to Terms: guidelines for the description of historical bookbindings, PhD applicants are invited to submit proposals on historical bookbinding and bookbinding terminologies, especially with an emphasis on a multi-lingual/multi-cultural context.

Saint Catherine’s Monastery LibraryMount Sinai, Egypt

The monastery of St Catherine in the Sinai, Egypt, is the oldest active Christian monastery in the world. The monastery’s library holds a unique collection of Byzantine and other manuscripts and printed books. Ligatus undertook the task of assessing the condition of the manuscripts in a detailed survey of the 3,300 bound manuscripts and the 100 earliest printed books in the collection. It has also designed a new conservation workshop, a stainless steel box for the protection of the manuscripts and is advising on further conservation work. The project has been funded by the St Catherine Foundation. PhD applicants can work with the outcomes from this project and are invited to submit proposals in book conservation and historic bookbinding with an emphasis in the Byzantine tradition.

The Ligatus Research Centre offers a unique environment within the University of the Arts London, where the study of the history of bookbinding and book conservation is combined with research into semantic data structures and collection survey tools.

PhD applications are welcome in the following areas of research:

Digital archive of bookbinding

The 30,000 slides of the bound manuscripts in the library of St Catherine’s Monastery, taken as part of the survey, have been digitized and have been joined by 10,000 digital images of the bindings on the early printed books. Based on this material, Ligatus is in the process of building a repository of an unrivalled, collection of materials relating to the history of book-binding with images donated by key scholars who have worked internationally in major public and private collections. PhD applicants can work with this material on relevant subjects, including image recognition and automatic identification of binding types.

Knowledge Organisation and Semantic Archiving

Ligatus is pioneering the development of methodologies for documenting heritage archives. Following the proposal of Creative Archiving where the archivist’s subjectivity is turned into an advantage by introducing an interpretation layer through modern software tools, Ligatus is developing ways to enable the conceptual linking of heritage archives based on semantic technologies (Linked Open Data). PhD applicants are invited to submit research proposals in the areas of Knowledge Organisation, Semantic Ontologies and Digitisation with particular emphasis on the arts and humanities.

Partners and cooperators

Ligatus cooperates with many institutions, notably including:– Saint Catherine Foundation– School of Advanced Study, University of London– Centre for the Study of the Book, Bodleian Library in Oxford University– Museum of Byzantine Culture in Thessaloniki, Greece– International Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works– Foundation for Research and Technology, Greece– John Latham Foundation– The Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenbüttel– The National Library of Mexico– The University of Uppsala– The Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL)

John Latham Archive

Ligatus is working with the John Latham Foundation on the John Latham Archive. The archive has been digitised and is available for study online. John Latham’s influence on the visual arts is remarkable. His philosophical ideas on Events, Event Structures and ‘Flat Time’, a unifying overview of the world, are fascinating and complex. PhD applicants are invited to submit proposals on the study of John Latham’s art and texts.

In an increasingly complex period of globalisation, established certainties about the nature of culture, tradition and authenticity are being constantly questioned. The movement of peoples and artefacts is breaking down and producing new identities outside and beyond those of the nation state. It is no longer easy to define the nature of the local and the international, and many cultural interactions now operate on the level of the transnational.

TrAIN is a dynamic research forum for internationally recognised scholars and practitioners inside and outside the University. TrAIN offers research excellence and leadership through its coherent

programme of public events and research projects, and it brings together research in transnational issues in art and design, both globally and locally. Central to the Centre’s activities is a consideration of the impact of identity and nation on the production and consumption of artworks and artefacts. This problematic is considered within challenging new global contexts such as the politics of migration and diasporas, techno-cultural shifts and the emergence of new artistic forms, ecologies and networks. Transnational relationships are explored through crossings that traverse different media including fine art, design, craft, curation, performance and popular art forms.

TrAIN has ongoing partnerships with a number of national and internationally significant cultural institutions such as the V&A, Tate, Iniva, and Autograph ABP. Key partnerships have included the TrAIN/Gasworks Artists’ Residency, an international residency which raised specific questions for individual artists and wider issues regarding how both local and international contexts are negotiated in practice.

Research Centres – Transnational Art, Identity and Nation

A recent development is the formation of new Thematic Strands that consolidate and enhance research efforts in the centre. These currently include: Transnational Indigeneity (Dr Pratap Rughani and Professor Oriana Baddeley), East Asian Visual Cultures (Dr Yuko Kikuchi and Professor Toshio Watanabe) and Contemporary Art and Latin America (Dr Michael Asbury). More Thematic Strands are being developed to reflect emerging research themes.

Members contribute to TrAIN’s activities by completing group and individual research projects and through the supervision of relevant postgraduate study. Issues and debates arising from research activities are disseminated by TrAIN conferences, lectures, exhibitions and publications. Throughout the academic year TrAIN organises public events, such as the TrAIN Open Series, where artists, theorists and curators present their work and ideas. These are held at Chelsea College of Arts, Central Saint Martins and London College of Communication. More information about the Centre’s activities, core members and visiting scholars, is available at www.transnational.org.uk.

Current TrAIN research projects include

– Black Artists and Modernism (BAM): a three-year research project led by University of the Arts London in partnership with Middlesex University (AHRC) – Translating and Writing Modern Design Histories in East Asia for the Global World (AHRC) – Performing Romani Identities: Strategy and Critique (AHRC).
