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 committed group of peers, uniquely designed to offer critical, collaborative and personal approaches to fine art practice in today's 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 you're 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 You'll 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 you'll discover a range of galleries, artists' groups and studios plus art projects involving students and graduates. MA Fine Art 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 all that UWE Bristol's City Campus has to offer. Here, you'll develop your skills and knowledge alongside like-minded creative talent. 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 personal practice, which can lead to a career as an artist, technician, or in galleries and museums. Our students have also built careers in film, education, or the wider creative industries. You may also wish to consider a PhD pathway within one of our excellent research centres.
We're seeking highly motivated students from any background, committed to creative growth in our supportive School of Arts community. Most applicants would have an honours degree in the arts, but those with qualifications in other disciplines or prior professional experience are also encouraged to apply. While some students enter the course after years of independent work, we also welcome entries from ambitious applicants directly from undergraduate courses.
