Course summary

Our MFA Fine Art with Integrated International Pre-Masters is a year-long preparatory course of study to ready you for your Master’s in the UK, developing your English speaking and writing together with your specialist skills, research acumen and confidence in working autonomously. UCA's MFA Fine Art degree is a critically focused postgraduate course that aims to respond to current approaches and diverse forms of Fine Art practice. Supported by key contemporary theoretical debates and critical methodologies, you’ll establish a conceptual framework to test conventional and contingent forms of dissemination through your art practice. And with access to UCA Farnham's extensive facilities - including our wood and metal workshop, bronze foundry, film and photographic studios, print-media workshops, ceramics, glass and computer aided cutting facilities - you'll be able to pursue medium-specific investigation or devise more speculative methodologies for practice. Throughout the course, you’ll have regular opportunities to actively curate your practice both on campus in our project spaces, and externally. And, as a unique offering, there's also the option to study this course part-time, over three years - ideal for artists, arts professionals and those who are balancing other personal and professional commitments.
