Course summary
This programme is well positioned to facilitate practice-based research by virtue of our high-specification performance and rehearsal spaces, design studios, workshops, technical infrastructure and specialist support staff. The research into our disciplines often involves exploration in, and through, the media that we are concerned with. Such activity always has its contexts, and Central’s academic staff are expert in the connections to be drawn between exploratory practice and advanced conceptualising, process and product, making and articulating.
