UWE Bristol's MA Fine Art is ideally placed if you're looking to develop your fine art practice at a professional level amongst a diverse and supportive community of creative arts practitioners.

Why study this course?

You will study our innovative curriculum alongside a purposefully small group of peers, uniquely designed to offer critical, collaborative and personal approaches to fine art practice in todays cultural contexts. There is no emphasis on a particular type of work. You might choose to work in painting, installation, performance, sculpture, moving image or drawing, reflecting contemporary practice and allowing for critical exploration and experimentation.

You will gain knowledge and insights into contemporary arts practice and debates, taught by experts in the field with international profiles. 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 arts 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.
