MA Fine Art
MA Fine Art is a Masters's award within the MA Art and Design program at the School of Creative Arts. Within the postgraduate program, there is a strong emphasis on professional practice and the real-world applications of art and design. You will develop key research skills and gain a good understanding of the work of other practitioners in your field.
The aim of the Fine Art program is to equip you with the skills, knowledge, and understanding required to practice at an advanced level, to foster your creativity and enhance your employment opportunities.
You will work alongside artists and designers and benefit from contributions from visiting artists, designers, makers, as well as from involvement with our international exhibitions program and gallery environment. This is the perfect opportunity to develop your individual creative practice and place it within the wider professional context of fine art.
You will work with other students to explore and challenge the boundaries of your practice and, through discussion, explore some of the key ideas that inform contemporary fine art practice. We strongly encourage conceptual experimentation and development of originality in the use of materials to explore possibilities and realize the potential of your ideas. Seminars, research methods, and debates will help you to advance, as well as technical skills.
