Overview

Art is a catalyst for social change. Developing your artist teacher practice will help the next generation of artists shape society, start important conversations, and spark innovation.

Our MA Education (Artist Teacher Practice) will help you understand your artist teacher roles in a wider context and provide the space to explore complicated issues. You’ll develop a meaningful artistic practice, push boundaries, and take creative risks to broaden your art teaching skill set.

Surrounded by art educators and professional artists from across the world, you'll have the freedom to take your practice in any direction you choose. You will develop a professional artist profile and exhibit to different audiences. You will choose different locations to work in, whether that's schools, colleges, artist studios or museums and galleries.

By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to take your teaching and making to the next level with a professional practice that stands up to artistic scrutiny.

Careers

Secondary art teachers, primary art coordinators, teaching assistants, youth workers, artists-in-residence – we take on students from a broad and diverse range of arts education backgrounds.

Perhaps you have experience with early year pupils, higher education students, or you’re an artist with an interest in education – looking to be challenged in your subject. Maybe you’re determined to develop your own practice, meet your CPD needs and progress your career. Or you could be searching for community in your field. Whatever your background, you don’t need a qualification in teaching. However, we do ask that you have an undergraduate degree or significant experience in your field, and work with art and education in some capacity.

After you’ve completed the course you’ll have developed a strong skill set as an artist teacher and be prepared to step into the professional art scene. You could be influencing school leadership, managing OFSTEDs, progressing to head of department in school, jumping into university teaching and research, or launching your career as a professional artist.
