This Masters course allows you to explore what it means to be an artist today from anywhere in the world by studying online.

Whatever your art specialism, this online learning space allows you to question fine art practice in a digital context.

‘The course is really well structured, but also includes much flexibility to explore in many directions. This is both exciting and a danger for some artists. Set yourself some goals and time limits. The two years of the course goes by very quickly.’

‘Previously I studied in person at a major academy of fine arts with the highest caliber professors you can imagine. However I’ve learned more in the 2 years on this course despite being online. It’s not about the distance it’s about the person who is teaching you and the structure of the course.’

  • Flexible online interactive learning: The course is online with students from across the world. The structure and timescale allow for a particular pace of development. It gives time for risk-taking and reflection in your practice as well as balancing other life and work commitments. Through self-organised practice and student-led initiatives, the course will help you to build a sustainable practice.
  • Tried-and-tested model: Established in 2004, this course has pioneered a highly effective model for building an online community. As part of a small group of students, you will learn together in a challenging and rewarding setting, supported by award-winning staff. Recent graduates from the course have won numerous awards and commissions, including the Aspen Art Award and ARTIQ Graduate Art Prize.
  • Personal project: The curriculum is designed to foreground your individual practice and study. You will define and develop your own project to combine your skills, experience and interests, focusing on issues that are relevant to a particular group or audience.
  • Theory and practice: Our aim is to integrate theory and practice, ensuring that you develop your potential in relation to a clear question, context and methodology. With a research-oriented, interdisciplinary and socially engaged ethos, we focus on innovation and developing deeply a reflective art practice.
  • International community: The course draws from the exchange of diverse perspectives and experiences relating to art making and cultural production of contemporary importance.

‘We will try to never tell you what to do.
Instead we will ask you questions so that you can hear your own wisdom better’
Jonathan Kearney, Course Leader

The diversity evident in a group of students spread across the world, adds significantly to the richness of the course. Since 2004 we have had students from about 70 different countries from Argentina to Austria, Canada to Cambodia, Peru to Philippines, Saudi Arabia to South Korea.
