Fine Art MA

Expand and deepen your artistic practice while you immerse yourself in a vibrant community of artists, theorists, researchers, and art historians.

With this MA Fine Art programme, you’ll enter a supportive environment designed to inspire and enhance your personal growth, technical skills and critical investigation. While you expand your professional relationships into a thriving network, you’ll experiment, collaborate and share ideas as you work towards cultivating an ambitious portfolio.

As you develop your practice in our purpose-built studios, you’ll receive support from our diverse seminars, tutorials, and group critiques. You will show your work via public presentation, engagement, and curated approaches relevant to your position as an artist and researcher. This will give you the confidence and experience to strengthen your employability.

You’ll engage in learning from practising artists, writers and theorists, supported by internationally recognised resources local to Leeds. You can also choose from a range of optional modules, allowing you to lean into our specialisms in art history, cultural theory, museum and gallery practices, arts management and heritage studies.

Upon graduation, you’ll be a confident artist, with a clear vision for further study, practice in the professional arts, or a place in the wider arts sector.
