Entry requirements

We're seeking highly motivated students from any background, committed to creative growth in our supportive School of Arts community. Most applicants would have an honours degree in the Visual Arts, but those with qualifications in other disciplines or prior professional experience are also encouraged to apply. While some students enter the course after years of independent work, we also welcome entries from ambitious applicants directly from undergraduate courses. International applicants For country specific entry requirements please find your country on our country information pages. Selection process Applicants will be asked to provide a portfolio of practical or project-based work and a personal statement for review. In your portfolio you may want to include your most recent or ambitious works alongside developmental or process-based details. The work you include can be in media from outside or beyond your chosen discipline, and may include personal or professional outcomes. We are looking for applicants with the potential to connect creatively with contemporary practice; the motivation to excel; and the capacity to contribute to our dynamic campus. Your personal statement should communicate confidently and coherently your rationale for application: what you hope Master’s study will help you achieve in your future. You may want to include detail of the influences that have led you to application, and the attributes you think will be important for success as a postgraduate. We would like to know more about you, and your understanding of what we do. Most personal statements we receive are around 500 words in length. Applicants may be invited for an online interview, if we have any further questions about your portfolio.
