This programme encourages practices that are speculative and reflective, supporting work in a range of media. It is concerned with ways of learning that are experiential - embodied through and understood by the acquisition of a practice. During the late 20th century, developments within visual art introduced new processes and situations, which resulted in an expanded concept of artistic practice. Media-related disciplines supported by the programme include sculpture, painting and printmaking, photography, audio-visual and new media. The programme also encompasses approaches to practice that are non media-specific, including intermedia, time-based arts, performance, installation, public art and art writing. This programme enables you to develop an ambitious art practice as well as providing you with the organisational and economic knowledge required to thrive as a self-employed artist. You will also be qualified to teach studio art in higher education and to work in the contemporary art sector.
