Contemporary Arts Practice Postgraduate Master's Degree

The MA in Contemporary Arts Practice at our University Centre Hastings (UCH) focuses on practice-led inquiry, enabling you to develop your individual artistic voice through rigorous research methods. Studio practice is at the heart of the curriculum. You will be encouraged to pursue individual research interests supported by contextual study, primarily within the studio setting.

This exciting new course offers a two-year MA supported by a dedicated team of staff and access to a wide range of specialist workshops. You will work within an open and inclusive studio environment, encouraging you to explore, test and refine your research and practice. Regular engagement with tutors develops the creative, technical and critical skills needed for advanced practice, while fostering reflective dialogue with established conventions in contemporary creative culture.

The course acknowledges the individual nature of making in a multi-disciplinary manner. It embeds a strong understanding of Contemporary Arts Practice discourse within an international context through lectures and research-led seminars.
