This Masters will enable you to develop your personal visual practice and follow your own interests and aspirations. You'll follow a chosen pathway for the duration of your MA study, with the option to be awarded with one of the following:

• MA Visual Practice: Contemporary Fine Art
• MA Visual Practice: Photography
• MA Visual Practice: Glass
• MA Visual Practice: Ceramics

 

We do not have a ‘house style’, instead you'll be encouraged and supported to uncover your own focus through independent creativity. You’ll improve your technical ability through expert support, using our excellent facilities, and will develop academic skills in research and communication.

 

You'll work alongside a diverse range of established artists, theorists, writers, curators, and specialist technicians to develop your practice and professional career, and you'll meet, share practice, and collaborate with staff and peers from a variety of disciplines as part of the MA Visual Practice community.

 

Compared to an undergraduate course, you'll find that this Masters requires a higher level of independent working.

 

We use a wide variety of teaching and learning methods and you'll have high levels of contact with tutors who give regular feedback and support. Our aim is to provide a stimulating and supportive learning environment where emerging ideas and strategies can be tested and debated with reference to appropriate professional contexts and challenges. The teaching emphasis will therefore be on encouraging self-reliance, sustainability and personal creative responsibility through lectures, seminars, workshops and peer reviews, supported by group and individual tutorials. This is supported by a range of guest speakers from diverse academic and creative industry backgrounds.

 

Part-time students will study alongside full-time students in the daytime.
