Our MFA programme aims to strengthen your motivation, self-reflection and ambition as an emerging artist. We do this by subjecting art-making to intense critical scrutiny.We place a strong emphasis on student-centred learning in studio crits and personal tutorials. Tuition is directed by your art-making, its key concerns, and your leading ideas taken together.The programme promotes communication across a wide international cohort of artists, as well as across an open range of media. From this, artists learn how their work and ideas are understood from different social, artistic and intellectual contexts.While on the MFA you will continually engage with what it means to practise as an artist today, and the position taken by an art-practice in relation to art's complex history and its currency in wider social and cultural processes.We place great emphasis on how artists look to impact and challenge prevailing expectations of art, and whether their work does so.The structure and tuition of the programme are not divided by media. Our students engage with diverse media according to the needs of their practice, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, installation, performance, socially engaged practice, art writing, textiles, digital media, sound and video.
You must have or expect to be awarded an undergraduate degree of at least second class standard (or international equivalent), plus experience as an artist.
You must already be in possession of 120 grade credits from another suitably related postgraduate study to apply for direct entry into Year Two of the programme on either a full or part-time basis.
You need to have your own studio space in which to work over the four years of the programme.
You may also be considered for the MFA Fine Art programme if you are not a graduate or if your undergraduate degree is in an unrelated field, but you have relevant experience and can show that you have the ability to work at postgraduate level.
