Post-graduate Courses

* MA in Fine and Applied Arts:
Course overview:
The MA in Fine and Applied Arts is a studio based programme which seeks to develop students' art practice to a professional standard and is designed to help them establish new parameters of intention and enquiry. This reflective practice takes place through continuous theoretical discourse and advancement of studio practice. This commitment to an intense and focussed examination of personal concerns will be structured by the student and will emerge from the skills and achievement of undergraduate study or a prior substantial engagement in professional practice.

The MA is a distinct and self-contained qualification as well as a learning opportunity to progress to further study or professional practice. The culmination of the MA is demonstrated via a public exhibition and publication of a body of research presented to a professional standard and would normally include evidence of practical studio work, critical evaluations contextualising contemporary and historical practices and evidence of underpinning research strategies.
