Course Description

Mobilise your art practice and take it into the real world. You’ll get to work in our on-campus ProjeCt space or off-site, hosting public exhibitions and exploring new forms of public engagement. You will be supported to build meaningful professional relationships with local and global communities and audiences.

For 25/26 entry.

This dynamic MA in Contemporary Arts Practice will equip you with transferable and industry-relevant skills, including end-to-end creative project management, enabling you to become resilient and independent as a practitioner.

The course is ideal for students with visual arts backgrounds, but also relevant to other arts-related disciplines. You’ll have scope to use a diverse range of materials, processes and approaches, and will benefit from working in a trans-disciplinary environment.

There will also be plenty of opportunities to spark critical artistic discourse and explore cultural contexts by creating work through public encounters. Artists are instrumental in rethinking social and physical environments, helping to build cultural infrastructure through critical thinking. On the MA you will draw on issues you feel passionate about as a ‘citizen-artist’.

Entry Requirements

The entry requirements for the course are normally a 2:1 Honours degree in a subject related to art practice.  Applicants who have a 2:2 Honours or with different qualifications who have relevant experiential learning will also be considered.
