Contemporary Art Practice is a cutting-edge MA programme in the School of Arts & Humanities that blends theory and practice to form new ways of responding to the world. We provide a critical environment emphasising wider political issues and encouraging you to interrogate art production in relation to urgent socio-political contexts.
We support ambitious, research-driven artists specialising in critical, speculative and social art practices, moving image, performance, writing and techno-aesthetics. Our approach isn't limited by technology or materials. CAP students embrace any medium: images, installations, publications, and more.

Candidates are generally expected to have a good BA degree from a fine art course but candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world. The selection process considers creativity, imagination and innovation as demonstrated in your portfolio, as well as your potential to benefit from the programme and to achieve high MA standards overall. You should be able to demonstrate an original and critical approach to fine art as well as an ability to engage with current theories of art and culture that inform their practice.
One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme. Download your copy of the Scholarship Guide to find out which scholarships from around the world could be available to you, and how to apply for them.
Specialising in teaching and research, the RCA offers Graduate Diploma, MA, MRes, MFA, MDes, MArch, MEd, MPhil and PhD qualifications across the disciplines of fine art, architecture, applied art, design, communications and humanities. There are over 2,800 masters and doctoral students from 90 countries and more than 1,000 professionals interacting with them – including scholars, leading art and design practitioners, along with specialists, advisors and distinguished visitors. The RCA is the most concentrated community of artists, designers and communicators to be found anywhere; a community focused on art in a design environment and design in an art environment. At the College’s heart is a firm belief in project-based education, face-to-face teaching and learning and professional orientation. We aim to bring talented students of great variety and complexity together - whatever their background. www.rca.ac.uk
