MPhil/PhD (Slade School of Fine Art)

UCL (University College London)

The UCL Slade School of Fine Art is one of the UK's most renowned university departments for fine art. We approach research through a wide range of artistic and interdisciplinary practice, and champion its communication through inventive modes of exhibition, documentation and writing. The Slade offers the following three pathways for undertaking MPhil/PhD research in Fine Art: Practice-led Thesis: a thesis of art practice that makes an original contribution to knowledge accompanied by a written component of 15,000-30,000 words (with a maximum of 40,000), or for the MPhil 10,000-15,000 words (a maximum of 20,000). Practice-related Thesis: a written thesis of 60,000-80,000 words with art practice that together make an original contribution to knowledge (or 35,000-45,000 words for the MPhil). Written Thesis: a written thesis of 80,000-100,000 words that makes an original contribution to knowledge (or 50,000-60,000 words for the MPhil). The MPhil/PhD at the Slade School of Fine Art is for applicants who have completed a period of postgraduate study and practice in fine art and are now seeking to develop their practice as research at an advanced level.
