The Consortium offers two postgraduate degrees: a one-year Master of Research (MRes), and a three-year doctoral (PhD) programme in Humanities and Cultural Studies.
Master of Research
The Master of Research programme is available only as a one-year full-time course. It is a challenging post-graduate introduction to theories, methods and knowledges in the humanities and cultural studies. Students will combine coursework and research throughout, culminating in the production of a dissertation. The Master of Research may be taken as a stand-alone degree in its own right, or may act as a pathway into the Consortium PhD programme.
Doctoral programme
The PhD programme offers the possibility of a broad grounding in theories, methods and skills in the humanities and cultural studies combined with the production of a substantial piece of original research. Students on this full-time programme combine research work with an active programme of seminars in their three years of study, and are encouraged to get involved in additional activities, particularly in association with one or more of the constituent institutions, during the conduct of their research.
From October 2010, the London Consortium has also offered a new MA in Film Curating in collaboration with the London Film School
MA in Film Curating
This new MA in Film Curating, which was offered for the first time in October 2010, is a collaboration between the London Consortium (University of London) and the London Film School. Bringing together recent thinking about curating contemporary art with the constantly evolving world of film, film festivals and the movie business, it offers a theoretical exploration into the role of film curating in an age in which digital distribution technologies are transforming both the traditional notion of curating and the commercial film distribution sector. Students will also gain practical experience in curating, within the context of existing film festivals like Cannes and Rotterdam, both of which will be visited, and through the practical curation of a film or film/related event.
