About this course

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.

  • This degree has been described as one of the most influential MFA programmes in the world.
