The Master of Research (M.Res.) is a postgraduate research degree, which provides students with the opportunity to design and undertake a discrete research project, either ‘by practice’ or ‘by Thesis’. The programme is offered at GSA’s Campus in Glasgow, GSA Highlands & Islands in addition to a Low Residency (Blended) mode of study delivered both online and on campus. Students will undertake design-led research in contextually-located projects or aligned to key research thematics. The Master of Research prepares students for doctoral study and offers the potential for eligible students to apply to articulate to a PhD at Year 2 (FT). It is available full-time (1 year) or part-time (2 years). The Master of Research provides tailored postgraduate research training utilising established design-led innovation research methods, approaches and techniques delivered in week-long seasonal schools: winter; spring and autumn. Alongside the research training, you are assigned a dedicated supervisory team. The Master of Research is suited to students who wish a dedicated space to continue a research project or to creative practitioners who wish to develop their research practice in a specific context. Your creative practice is the focus of the iterative research approach and is a major aspect of its experiential nature. This involves exploring creative practice and processes through critical inquiry: making, reading, writing, thinking, discussion and reflection. Research outputs are expected to reflect creative research and engagement, which recognise the importance of practice-based research, knowledge exchange and design-led innovation as core research development activities. It is anticipated that students will take an active part in developing the GSA postgraduate culture through their shared research interests. The programme seeks to develop world-class researchers who wish to enhance their professional practice or pursue an academic career.
