	about the course
	The Masters programme enables students to develop as Fine Art practitioners through in-depth engagement with theories, ideas and issues that surround and inform contemporary art-making in all its manifestations. The programme promotes critical dialogue with other students, visiting artists, and MA staff (all of whom are active researchers and practitioners in the field). A belief in the value of Fine Art as a mode of enquiry and interrogation of orthodoxies underpins the programme. This involves a exploration of a range of methodologies and approaches such as relational and socially engaged practices, curatorial and process-led practices. We provide the opportunity to engage with a range of disciplines including painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and digital technologies such as video, and sound. In the PGDip students formulate their own research topics and approaches and through their practice work towards a proposal for their MA project. Concurrently a range of theoretical models and ideas are investigated in seminars and through dialogue to assist students identifying the relevance of these to their own practice. The programme is 1 year full-time, or 2 years part-time.
