Fine Art MA
Join our Fine Art MA and refine your artistic practice through experimentation, innovation and applied research at the renowned Falmouth School of Art. Learn to evaluate your own process and those of others, explore essential techniques and use modern technologies in an open space of experimentation, positioning your work in a real-world context.
You’ll graduate with the ability to effectively communicate your creative body of work, continually inform your practice through ongoing research and inquiry and maintain a sustainable approach to your artistic production and dissemination. Underpinning the theory will be the opportunity to develop active management skills and the expertise to not only identify but to foster collaborative opportunities within the art world.
