The MA Fine Art is a professionally taught programme delivered through seminars, tutorials, peer reviews and guest lectures. You will be taught in a studio environment that facilitates and encourages rigorous creative enquiry. All of our work areas such as our workshops and studios are well resourced.
You will be taught by a group of highly trained, professional, research active staff that have a diversity of conceptual approaches and skills. And as part of the programme you will go on study visits to regional and national museums and galleries.
While on the MA Fine Art programme you will have the opportunity to study at the University of Porto.
