This is a unique Master's Programme created in response to the need for transition from a variety of undergraduate degrees to specialist practice within the contemporary medical art field. The MSc aims to provide expertise for those intending to work at the leading edge of the medical art profession and is a supportive environment to nurture innovative and creative ideas. Course lecturers work closely with the NHS, the Institution of Medical Illustrators and the Medical Artists' Association. It will also provide a postgraduate qualification for police artists, and medical artists working in the NHS, who are seeking validation or further specialisation of existing skills to conform with medico-legal procedures and for registration to relevant professional bodies. The course is delivered through a variety of methods including lectures (both face to face and online), practical sessions in the studio and dissection room, and small group discussions with an encouragement into debate and theoretical solutions to current problems. This programme aims to provide professional training to underpin your first degree, so that you can enter employment at the leading edge of your discipline. Career opportunities in medical art are varied and will depend on individual background and interests.
