Course summary
Our Fine Art (MA) programme reflects and responds to the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary art and facilitates a culture of critical debate in a practice-based context.
This programme of study values all forms of practice including, but not limited to, painting, sculpture, installation, performance, photography and film.
This master’s course examines the role of the artist, both in terms of independent and collaborative modes of study, and promotes an analytical approach to art practice.
The programme encourages students to extend their practice across different disciplines, media and platforms and actively stimulates dialogue between creative practitioners, agencies and institutions.
What you will learn
The master’s Contemporary Dialogues portfolio at Swansea College of Art offers a unique postgraduate experience.
Graduates and professionals from a wide range of specialities benefit from multidisciplinary learning together with expert lecturers and a broad range of facilities.
You will have the opportunity to draw upon experiences and knowledge from across the different pathways and reflect on this in your own personal study.
Course Overview
The research environment benefits greatly from the input of our teaching staff and visiting lecturers, most of whom are research-active artists, designers, and theoreticians of national and international significance.
In the first part of the programme, you will complete a series of taught modules.
You will participate in multidisciplinary exchanges, through seminars and lectures involving students from all programmes within the Contemporary Dialogues portfolio, to stimulate new perspectives and challenge directions.
The cross-fertilisation of ideas through such dialogues is expected to promote a rethinking of the perceptions and production techniques appropriate to your discipline.
Throughout the taught part of the programme, you will be expected to undertake material investigations and research into contemporary themes, with consideration given to environmental, economic, social, and cultural issues.
