PostgraduateCourse summary
MA Fine Art is a studio-based course that is aimed at those who wish to develop the critical, research, practical, and professional aspects of their art practice at the highest level. This interdisciplinary programme encourages creative risk-taking and intellectual enquiry. Alongside a strong emphasis on the richness and breadth of art from around the world, staff and students on the programme are encouraged to take an active role in Lincoln's contemporary art community. Students will have access to studio space and benefit from strong links with national and international artists and curators, which in the past have included working with Lincolnshire Archives, The Blue Room, and others on collaborative projects. MA Fine Art has developed a close relationship with the Collection and Usher Gallery, General Practice (both based in Lincoln), and UK New Artists. A range of artists and professionals are invited to deliver guest lectures and tutorials as part of ART TALKS. Recent speakers include Heath Bunting, Matthew Burrows MBE, Rachel Garfield, Etcétera, Joy Sleeman, and JJ Chan. Medium-specific specialist themes are available, recognising the increased material focus of advanced practice in fine art.

Assessment method
Students are assessed in a variety of ways, including spoken presentations, written submissions, and the presentation of critically grounded artwork or curated exhibitions.
Entry requirements
First or upper second-class honours degree in a relevant subject or equivalent professional experience. Not sure if your undergraduate degree is relevant? In most cases, as long as you have a degree, an awareness of what contemporary art is, and a portfolio of recent artwork, the subject of your undergraduate degree is not a concern. Equivalent industry experience typically includes: • Maintaining a studio over several years (ideally, working alongside other artists) • Exhibiting your artwork in galleries (including open calls such as the Creekside Open, the RA Summer Exhibition, or EASTinternational) • Setting up your own, artist-run exhibitions (possibly in alternative spaces, such as disused shops or warehouses) • Working as an artist in residence (e.g. in a museum, cathedral, community centre, archive or other). • Being shortlisted for national prizes and competitions (such as the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award, First Plinth Public Art Award, the Contemporary British Painting Prize, or the Threadneedle Prize - there are many more). Contact Programme Leader Martin Lang, or attend an applicant day to discuss in person, if you are unsure about your suitability.
