The Westminster School of Arts hosts the Centre for Research and Education in Art and Media (CREAM), recognized as one of the UK's most accomplished and highly regarded arts research centers. During the 2014 Research Exercise Framework, CREAM received top honors among institutions for diverse art and design research, with 45% of its work classified as world-class and 63% acknowledged for its global influence.
CREAM's research spans ceramics, visual arts, photography, film, experimental media, music, and fashion. With 30 researchers and more than 50 PhD candidates, it stands as London's premier hub for visual and media arts, design, and music research, ranking among the UK's top six centers. Nearly half of CREAM's doctoral students pursue practice-based degrees.
As a CREAM doctoral researcher, you'll engage in a dynamic schedule of seminars, guest lectures, innovative conferences, and collaborative symposia with partner institutions. CREAM has played a pivotal role in shaping discussions on practice-based research in audiovisual media and was a founding contributor to the AHRC-supported AVPhD initiative.
