MASTER OF RESEARCH

Haldane Building, 4 students

The Master of Research is a pioneering postgraduate research degree offered across all Schools at The Glasgow School of Art (GSA). It offers students a unique opportunity to design and undertake a research project, which is either practice-based or theoretical. The programme is offered at the GSA’s Campus in Glasgow, GSA Highlands & Islands or across both Campuses.

It is not a taught programme – it combines tailored research training, delivered in seasonal schools: winter; spring and autumn at our Highlands & Islands campus, alongside a substantial component of independent research.

Our students are creative practioners and researchers who have developed their research practice in specific contents. Their creative practice is the focus of an interative research approach, and is experiential in nature. It involves exploring creative practice through critical inquiry: making, reading, writing, thinking, discussion and reflection.

This year’s cohort of researchers reflect the diversity of the programmes research output with projects exploring digitisation and counter culture to sustainability, wellbeing and future clothing. Underpinning these projects, you’ll find research approaches located in solidarity and community, as well as co-production and knowledge exchange.
