Masters Degree Description

Our Fine Art MA is for disciplined artists who want to grow their ideas and practice – you will challenge yourself creatively by critically examining your work, your artistic identity, and your motivations and ambitions.

You will engage wholly with what it means to practise as an artist today, with a tailored programme of study and regular personal tutorials. As part of a community of artists on the course you will participate in weekly lectures, seminars and crits, benefitting from working alongside your peers.

The course is taught by a team of experienced artists and curators, with guest lectures, workshops and professional practice seminars aimed to broaden your understanding of contemporary art in context.

As a Full time student you will work in dedicated studios at Dorset Place in central Brighton, and there is an on-site Fine Art MA gallery space where you can exhibit work to the public.
