Overview

The Fine Art MA programme from the University of the Arts London (UAL) aims to expand your work’s audiences and contextual reach. Experimental studio practice and individual inquiry are activated in professional contexts. These challenge what art is or could be, how art is communicated, and how artists can develop their practices in forward-thinking and culturally progressive ways.

What students can expect

To contextualise your work in relation to contemporary cultural practices and ideas
To independently produce critically aware work
To build your professional experience and portfolio through regular participation in public exhibitions, events and publications
Regular practice consultancies, discussions, group activities and workshops
To become an active member of an international arts community
To participate in discursive and collaborative practices with colleagues
To get involved in our partnerships network, through which we organise workshops, lectures, discussions, studio visits, field trips and exhibitions. These currently include Sotheby’s Institute of Art and the UAL Research Centre for Transnational Art, Identity and Nation (TrAIN)
