• You may be supervised jointly by a departmental academic and one from a further discipline if the subject requires.

• Goldsmiths is a leading research-intensive university, and nearly four-fifths of our research outputs were considered “world leading” or “internationally excellent” in the last Research Excellence Framework (2021).
