Research has always been central to the V&A: it was the first national museum to establish a dedicated Research Department and has held Independent Research Organisation status since 2006. The V&A has also been home since 1983 to the UK’s leading postgraduate programme in the History of Design and Material Culture, co-delivered with the Royal College of Art.
