Course summary

This intensive MA Fine Art course aims to provide the basis for your future professional art practice, curatorial engagement or academic research at a higher level, allowing you to develop a body of work within the contexts of the studio, production, dissemination and audience.

We encourage applications from artists working, or wishing to work in: studio-based practice, socially engaged practice, collaborative practice, as artist curators, as art writers or within art education.

You'll develop your art practice in our purpose built studios, working towards a final exhibition and dissertation, supported by a series of seminars, tutorials, group critiques and a visiting speaker programme.

Studying Fine Art at Leeds, you'll be taught by practising artists, writers and theorists, supported by the region’s internationally recognised resources including the Henry Moore Institute, The Hepworth Wakefield, Leeds Art Gallery, the National Science and Media Museum, The Tetley and Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

As well as studio and exhibition work, you'll take an optional module to explore critical and theoretical issues such as aesthetics, deconstruction, feminist studies and museum practice.

Career opportunities

You will develop your art practice and write critically about the context of artistic work and outcomes of your work.

Throughout this postgraduate Fine Art degree, you have the chance to gain skills in organising and curating events and exhibitions, researching, interpreting and analysing artistic work, as well as developing your cultural and visual awareness. All of these skills and abilities are valuable in a wide range of careers.

Fine Art graduates have gone on to develop artist-led studios and galleries, and work in curatorial and educational roles around the world - both on a freelance basis and for major art institutions.

Others have decided to develop their research interests through PhD study at Leeds or at another institution, or have pursued careers in teaching.
