Our MA Fine Art programme gives you the time and space to develop a meaningful, distinctive, and substantial body of work, to propel you forward on your artistic journey. You will have time over the first two Semesters to expand your practice through new ideas and ways of working, testing these out in a range of exhibition contexts, with feedback from expert tutors and peers. During the Summer Semester, MA students will take over the spacious studios to complete an ambitious final degree show project for exhibition in early September.
