FindAMasters summary

The Sculpture MA programme at the RCA offers a dynamic and experimental approach to the study of sculpture. With a focus on contemporary issues and diverse artistic practices, students are encouraged to think critically and reflexively about their work. The programme emphasizes the importance of situating artistic practice within the social, political, and economic context of the modern world. Collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches are highly valued, allowing students to explore new materials, spaces, and technologies. Entry requirements include a good first degree in sculpture or a relevant subject, as well as a strong understanding of materials, techniques, and the cultural significance of the arts and humanities.

About the course

A critical environment in which to discuss contemporary issues for making sculpture.

The study of sculpture is ever-expanding and includes object-making, public art and social practices, site and space, performance, sound, film and video. Rather than only considering the specific manifestations of sculpture, we prefer to think of it as a methodology from which to progress the production of art.

Entry Requirements

You must have a good first degree in sculpture or a relevant subject, as well as being able to display a facility with materials and techniques. You’ll also be knowledgeable about the history and cultural relevance of the disciplines pertinent to the arts and humanities, as well as be able to hold and articulate a view of your own work in relationship to that. You should be able to critically reflect on your work, to question received modes of production and frameworks, and metabolise academic, social and philosophical encounters.

Student Profile

Hugo Pereira

Nationality: Portugal

Throughout my career I realised that Royal College of Art was a constant reference by my favourite artists, and professionals. The choice seemed clear. The year before I was developing projects in Portugal and Germany in order to improve my curriculum and be ready for the highest level in the masters. Anything you'll need to learn, everything you want to learn will be available to you at the RCA. London has such an amazing cultural life, there's not one week without an opening, there's not a day that you won't have something new to see. It will be one of the best experiences of your life, not just because of how your work will develop, but also because of the friendships you'll make and the contacts you'll get. Get ready to follow the right path.
