    MA Full-time 1 year

Course Description

This MA Fine Art course enables you to develop your individual practices in a supportive and critically engaged studio environment. Over 12 months you will produce a body of self-initiated work, supported by in-depth research in the fields and contexts that inform your practice. Through this process you will consolidate your own artistic position, learning to articulate your central concerns and to locate your work in relation to the key theoretical, cultural, and political debates of the 21st century.

Entry Requirements

  • You’ll need at least a 2:2 degree in contemporary fine art.
  • We will accept a 2:2 in another subject if you meet the portfolio requirement for this course.

Your portfolio should show your recent artworks:

  • Please include documentation of up to 10 works: painting, sculpture, installation, video, or any medium or media appropriate for you. Create a PDF document to present your work. Keep images to around 1MB, unless you need to make them larger. If video, please ensure that this can be viewed in the UK by using a platform such as YouTube or Vimeo. Use a password or code to keep it private if you wish.
  • Demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of contemporary art practice through reflection on your work and references to other artists who have influenced you.
  • Works in other fields, such as design, fashion or graphics, are not relevant unless directly related to your fine art practice.
  • If you wish, you can include examples of professional practice in other subjects or careers, provided it has some relationship to your art.
