The MA Fine Art course at UCA Canterbury provides a distinctive approach to studying fine art at this level. Offering a series of specialisms within a wider set of related and experimental practices, you have the opportunity to undertake discipline-led activity within a broader fine art laboratory with theoretical and practical opportunities for interdisciplinary research, actively encouraged.

You choose to specialise in one of four areas: Artists' Film, Video & Photography, Painting, Illustration & Printmaking and Sculpture & Performance to develop projects that question and explore contemporary fine art practice.

Key study topics include:

• The first phase of the course emphasises experimentation, reflection and an open questioning of your practice and research aims.
• Through practical studies and theoretical reflection you work to develop a project proposal, considering issues in studio methodology and the relationships between theory and practice.
• In the second phase of the course you develop and investigate your proposed research project, testing ideas and establishing coherent modes for critically engaging with your studio practice.
• Throughout this phase you are supported through interdisciplinary workshops, tutorials, forums and study visits to London and Europe.
• In the final phase you realise your project through focused independent study, establishing an appropriate form for the dissemination and/or publication of your work.
