Our new practice-based MA in Fine Art is ground-breaking within its field; it positions learning in relation to a broad range of infrastructures, supports and external centres of connectivity that will in turn scaffold students’ professional practice on completion. This MA in Fine Art will enable postgraduate students drawn from the fields of fine art, cultural production, and creative thinking to establish links and a commonality between their art-based research and complementary research carried out within the cultural infrastructures of art, film, theatre and design, and within broader research in fields of science, technology, and social sciences.
This exciting Masters in Fine Art programme encourages and promotes the discovery of the individual artistic language of every student and where to site their professional artistic practice. The focus is on the core concerns of art practice in the real world, residencies, exhibitions, funding, partnerships, and application processes.
The MA aims to nurture the development of future artists, cultural producers, and creative thinkers. It will give students the tools to identify networks, opportunities and to enable them to confidently, research, write, collaborate, manage major projects, and disseminate research and creative work.
