Arts and Learning

This programme gives artists, practitioners and educators the opportunity to enrich and consolidate theories of contemporary art and learning. Engage with practice and theory, develop innovative research approaches, and critically debate the changing nature of contemporary art.

- You’ll be taught by staff who are nationally and internationally renowned and published artist researcher teachers.

- You’ll draw on the international scope of contemporary art practices in London. This degree has partnerships with international galleries including Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art, the Whitechapel Gallery and Gasworks.

- The programme places a strong emphasis on student-centred and directed learning. Teaching sessions and personal tutorials will draw on the critical reflection and development of your artist educator practices, including artistic, theoretical, political, and learning and teaching concerns.

- You’ll be part of a diverse student community and will have the opportunity to develop and maintain collaborative peer networks and support.

- Full-time students will be allocated a dedicated studio space at Goldsmiths.
