MA Painting

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    Our MA courses are between one and two years in length, depending on the subject and mode of study.

Course Description

‘What is thinking in painting, rather than thinking about painting.’

This course can be studied full- or part-time from October or full-time from January.

Painting defines its practice through the particularities of the painted field. The making materiality of the unique object, a globally acknowledged cultural history and the dedicated and dynamic relationship of the painted object to the painter. Painting in the 21st century is vital and relevant. Contemporary painting and what it can be, do and declare is meaningful. We ask how, why and according to what means.

The MA Painting course will explore this innovative and expansive territory in depth, dedicating itself to specialist study at postgraduate level.
