Why study this course?

You'll study our innovative curriculum alongside a purposefully small group of peers, uniquely designed to offer critical, collaborative and personal approaches to curating in contemporary cultural contexts. We will collectively consider: who are we to be curating, at this time and place, with and for whom?

You will gain knowledge and insights into contemporary arts and cultural practices and debates, taught by experts in the field with a long history of excellence in curating. This, and the extensive range of creative resources available across our City Campus, will equip you to work at a professional level, plugging into the contemporary discourse of regional, national, and international communities.

Whether youre a recently qualified arts graduate, or a well-established professional looking to develop yourself academically, this course offers all you need to push your practice to the next level.

Why UWE Bristol?

Youll be perfectly placed studying in Bristol, a socially and politically progressive city, widely recognised as one of the most creatively influential settings in the UK. Here youll discover a range of galleries, artists' groups and studios plus art projects involving students and graduates.

MA Fine Art: Curating is based on Bristol's historic harbourside at Arnolfini. Situated above this internationally renowned centre for contemporary art, you will be at the heart of Bristol's creative and cultural community, with access to UWE Bristol's City Campus and all it has to offer. Here, youll develop your skills and knowledge alongside like-minded creative talent.

You'll also benefit from working in close collaboration with one of our celebrated partner galleries, museums, or other cultural institutions during the course.

Where can it take me?

You will graduate with a globally recognised qualification and have a broad range of options available to you regionally, as well as nationally and internationally. The course offers you the opportunity to develop your own curatorial practice, which can lead you to a career in galleries and museums, in film, education, or the wider creative industries. You may also wish to consider a PhD pathway within one of our excellent research centres.
