Course summary

Our studio programme welcomes speculative and reflective approaches to art-making across all media. It provides opportunity for reflection, review and refinement of contemporary art practice towards public exhibition and professional portfolio. The programme is aimed at artists who want to develop a more ambitious practice by extending their practical, theoretical, organisational and economic knowledge in relation to contemporary art. As a student on this programme you will be supported through multiple opportunities for developing confidence as an artist, including: group presentations collaborative exhibitions peer-to-peer exchange. You will build on your existing skillset as you refine your approach and, ultimately, develop your artistic voice. At the end of the programme you will have a portfolio of work that is ready for wider public dissemination. A defining aspect of our programme is the emphasis it places upon speculative scepticism - not proceeding from the position of knowing what art is but being motivated by speculation on what it might be. We generate an atmosphere that supports mutual co-operation, a dynamic, intellectually ambitious environment in which staff and students can learn together. Our students often work collaboratively, therefore we are keen to select applicants based on their ability to work well as part of a creative team as much as we are interested in individual artistic and academic potential. The focus on building a supportive creative community, on the rigorous and experimental combination of theory and practice and the international profile of the student body makes our master’s programme unique.
