Develop your creativity through critical and interdisciplinary making. Develop your creative jewellery and metal practice within the material- and research-led processes of Applied Art. Advance your creativity and critical thinking with a wide range of insights from arts and design practitioners, theorists and historians. Follow in the footsteps of our RCA jewellery alumni who work internationally in fine art, applied art, design and fashion. Jewellery offers us the opportunity to understand our relationship with the things that surround us. Metal makes up more than 80% of the periodic table, offering limitless potential for innovation in material possibility. Studying this programme, you’ll explore the intersections of the social, technological, art and science. Our MA Jewellery and Metal uniquely provides academic expertise across art, design, and fine art within a world-leading school of the arts, fostering creativity and experimental making. We merge art and design, the material and immaterial, and the digital and analogue. Develop your creative identity This jewellery and metal programme will challenge you to see this discipline from a fresh perspective. You’ll benefit from our research-led approach which blends applied art philosophy and ideas from science. Your learning will be self-directed and self-reflective, critical in nature and thoroughly contextualised in disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge.
Candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world. The selection process considers creativity, imagination and innovation as demonstrated in your portfolio, as well as your potential to benefit from the programme and to achieve high MA standards overall.
We seek to recruit students who are talented, enthusiastic, energetic, professionally minded, with an open and critical approach to design and making. You must possess a good undergraduate degree (or non-UK equivalent qualification) in metalwork, jewellery or a related subject, such as textiles, sculpture, architecture and industrial design. Your application should be supported by good, preferably academic, references and you should possess a range of practical skills. Equivalent professional experience or apprenticeships are also taken into account.
Applications may be considered from candidates without formal training and/or qualifications in other subjects, but you must clearly demonstrate an understanding of the subject area and potential to bring expertise and knowledge from another discipline that would contribute to the Jewellery & Metal group dynamic.
