Candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world. The selection process will consider creativity, imagination and innovation as demonstrated in your portfolio, and your potential to benefit from the programme to achieve high MA standards. We are looking for candidates who are highly motivated, independent and can demonstrate they have the critical skills necessary to advance their practice in a rigorous and challenging environment.
Typically, our students will have a good BA (Undergraduate) Fine Art degree, however we welcome applications from candidates with other backgrounds. In recent years, students have come from fine art, painting, printmaking, sculpture, photo media, conservation, illustration, design, textiles, architecture, art history and interactive arts courses. While many students enter the course after a period of independent work, we also accept students directly from undergraduate courses.
