Master of Arts by Research can help prepare those students who wish to pursue a PhD for the challenges of a doctoral programme. However, research skills are not restricted to academia. Most employment opportunities require skills for integrating large amounts of varied information, and for analysing and presenting it effectively. Such skills together with a broader cultural exposure and literacy in various fields can also better prepare the student for the workplace. For example, fields like journalism or content production require such training and experience and Performance Studies could lead to jobs in cultural institutions, festivals, archives, galleries, etc. There has been an exponential growth in the demand for Master’s level students with research skills in India and elsewhere. For example, think-tanks, research institutions, private sector research firms, R&D arms of various companies, international research agencies, media houses and NGOs all require a skilled workforce that can bring more ‘academic’ skills to the workplace.
