Summary
Our students come from across phases and sectors in the field of art and design education providing you with the stimulation and challenges that different perspectives can bring.
Our practice pathway develops and renews your subject knowledge and connects you with contemporary creative and educational practice. The course is taught jointly with other practice led students from MA Fine Art and MA Art and Design: Interdisciplinary Practices.
Our theory-led pathway enables in-depth study in arts education. Dissertation research can make a real difference in your workplace and / or establish new career options for your future. If you’re already working in education you can base most of your research in the workplace.
This course will help your professional development by connecting with creative practice. Students will have the opportunity to personalise their learning through the modules chosen. This prepares students for life as a professional artist-educator, a PhD researcher or to work in other career areas.
The course is part of the Art Based Master's Programme - an integrated framework that allows students to build their own course. Core modules in any given course become option modules in all other courses. Students will have an opportunity to engage with other students from diverse learning and professional experiences. Various freestanding options are available.
This course is divided into three trimesters to allow students to work towards a Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma or a Master's qualification.
