Study Details: 1 year - 5 years
The Art Education, Culture and Practice MA examines the relationship between art practice, culture and pedagogy and enables students to develop innovative approaches to educational research across sites for education, such as art colleges, schools, galleries and alternative spaces for art education. Previously known as the Art and Design in Education MA, the course's alumni go on to be key influencers in the expanded field of art education.
Normally a minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, in an art/art theory/art history specialism is required together with professional experience in formal or informal educational contexts e.g. in schools, colleges, galleries or residencies. All applicants, who meet the entry criteria, are interviewed and asked to show examples of their own artwork or curatorial practice.

Graduates are currently working as freelance artist educators in departments of learning, participation and interpretation at leading art galleries, lecturers in further and higher education, heads of arts faculties in secondary schools, and in leadership roles in arts organisations. Many students use the course to explore new areas of critical and creative inquiry which have shaped the establishment of alternative models outside of formal education or the development of socially engaged art practices. MA students also have a strong record of success in publishing and entering PhD courses.
