The Jewellery & Metal MA programme  operates at the cusp of art and design, the material and immaterial, and the digital and analogue. Our role is to expand the possibilities of metal, addressing the need for functional, ritualistic and speculative objects within the broader context of material culture. Our approach is responsive to the rapidly changing social and cultural landscape, and draws on history, technology and extensive bodies of knowledge associated with jewellery and metal object-making. You can expect to work with, and through, a vast array of material possibilities, exploring a multiplicity of possible narratives.


Students will be supported from a dedicated and diverse academic and technical team.

Admission requirements

6.5+

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.

We seek to recruit students who are talented, enthusiastic, energetic, professionally minded, with an open and critical approach to design and making. You must possess a good undergraduate degree (or non-UK equivalent qualification) in metalwork, jewellery or a related subject, such as textiles, sculpture, architecture and industrial design. Your application should be supported by good, preferably academic, references and you should possess a range of practical skills. Equivalent professional experience or apprenticeships are also taken into account.

Applications may be considered from candidates without formal training and/or qualifications in other subjects, but you must clearly demonstrate an understanding of the subject area and potential to bring expertise and knowledge from another discipline that would contribute to the Jewellery & Metal group dynamic.
