Mapping provision and participation in postgraduate creative arts and design

The overall aim of this research study by the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) was to
provide the National Arts Learning Network (NALN) with a statistical analysis of the provision
of postgraduate study in creative arts and design (CAD) subjects across the UK, and participation
in such study by learners from different backgrounds. It also explored progression from
undergraduate to postgraduate study and beyond, and the perceptions of potential postgraduate
students. It complements the more qualitative research on experience and understanding
of work and study pathways of actual and potential CAD postgraduate students from a range
of backgrounds, being undertaken by researchers at the Open University.
