MA Fine Art (Media) at Bath Spa will encourage you to experiment and take risks before going on to establish your own strategy for practice. You’ll develop skills and knowledge through a combination of practice, research and professional development.
You’ll build your creative networks across the South West and internationally, connecting with our existing partners and our colleagues’ research strengths within the Centre for Cultural and Creative Industries, the Art Research Centre and the Material: Art and Technology research group and our innovation hub, The Studio.
Our students have capitalised on many opportunities to collaborate with galleries and museums, artists and curators, businesses and educational institutions.
You’ll need a good first degree in Fine Art/Media/Creative Media or equivalent experience, and experience of how fine artists, and the filed of Fine Art, work.

Students on our MA Fine Art course find employment in a range of relevant areas, including:
Trimester one
Begin to take chances and challenge your creative processes. You’ll interrogate your existing knowledge and develop skills in an environment that encourages playfulness and artistic risk-taking. You can experiment freely in our wide variety of specialist facilities, open studio spaces, and technical workshops – where expert support is on-hand.
Trimester two
Building on the work in the first trimester, you’ll maintain an experimental approach, but start to narrow your focus. We’ll help you evaluate your initial studio developments and refine your working strategy. You’ll be encouraged to pay greater attention to the presentation of your practice and to test how finished works relate to each other in, as well as to the spaces of, exhibition sites.
Trimester three
You’ll work in the studio with increasing independence as you establish a professional practice. You’ll devise and complete your Master’s Project, working to a proposal which contextualises your work within your specialist discipline and leads to your final Degree Show.
