Fine Art MA
The MA course embraces the richness and diversity of contemporary fine art practice. It will provide
you with a stimulating environment of practical support and critical challenge in which you can
develop the ambitions of your creative practice, allowing you to give it sharpened focus and
intellectual rigour. Our course encourages a wide variety of creative approaches that operate either
within established disciplines or across the boundaries of artistic media. It is particularly distinctive
in welcoming students who are interested in positioning textile materials and processes within a
contemporary fine art context.
By relating theory and practice, the course will allow you to challenge your working procedures and
situate your studio enquiry within a research context so that it becomes much more critically robust.
The delivery of the part-time mode is structured to accommodate students who may wish to
combine their study alongside full-time employment.
