About the course

This intensive MA Fine Art course allows artists to develop a body of work within the contexts of the studio, production, dissemination and audience.

We encourage applications from artists working, or wishing to work in, studio-based, socially engaged practice, or collaborative practice, as artist curators, as art writers or within art education.

This Masters degree aims to provide the basis for future professional art practice, curatorial engagement or academic research at a higher level.

You will develop your art practice in purpose built studios, working towards a final exhibition and dissertation, supported by a series of seminars, tutorials, group critiques and a visiting speaker programme.

Student Profile

Louis Pawlett

I’m a Hull based artist who has had exhibitions in Leeds, Nottingham and Wakefield. I studied my BA Fine Art in Nottingham and then went on to study my MA Fine Art in Leeds.

I wanted to develop my art practice that I had started in Nottingham and develop it to the point where I would be more confident in applying for exhibitions. Art is something that I have been passionate all my life, I grew up in a family of artists and so this only helped further develop my interests in art.

Using the screen printing room, laser cutter and wood workshop to create my artwork is what I enjoyed the most. As well as the realisation that sculpture was my main medium for my artwork, not screen printing.

The fine art workshops were great and something I used more of than at my last university. Something that really helped develop my practice as an artist.
