Course description
Overview
This programme will enable students to continue a critical exploration of the ideas and interests established through their undergraduate experience, or long term professional practice.
Students can elect to work in any fine art area – painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, lens or electronic media – or they may choose an interdisciplinary approach.
This is a practical studio based course, with core, compulsory units in critical theory, which intend to help students contextualise and locate their work within a contemporary and relevant framework of experience.
Access to a visiting artists programme, participation in one day and residential study visits; studio spaces and access to workshops and other resources; a programme of integrated critical theory and studio practice; access to a range of fine art staff together with lecturers from other relevant disciplines; access to exhibition space within the school; opportunities to register for units of study outside the MA course, to develop additional skills and experience.
