Master's Degree

Program Summary

Pre-Master’s is an entry point that comes before a Master’s degree. By studying Pre-Master’s, students will gain a solid understanding of their chosen subject as well as the required skills for postgraduate-level study at a UK university. Upon successful completion, students will progress to their Master’s degree.

This course is conceptual at heart, considering art in relation to philosophy, history and theory, contemporary discourse and global contexts. Students will have the freedom to take risks and be driven by their imagination. Modules change to reflect contemporary practice and have included the following topics:

    • Philosophy and Aesthetics
    • Social Practices in the Visual Arts
    • Creative Publishing
    • Small Arts Business Set up.
