You take a non-assessed core course which introduces the question of how to explore the relationship between critical theory and contemporary visual arts practices, and you also take a special subject - an in-depth taught course based on the current research interests of staff which will enable you to focus on an aspect of contemporary art, cultural theory or contemporary thought that particularly interests you. A second, in-depth course, the `MA laboratory´, provides an active and experimental environment for engaging collaboratively with fellow students on a broad issue central to the programme as whole. You also complete a dissertation and present a focused investigation of your research during the `MA symposium´ component of the programme.

Requirements

The standard requirement is an upper second class honours or equivalent degree in history of art, architecture and design, fine art, film studies, cultural studies or a related humanities or arts subject (eg anthropology, philosophy, literary studies). If you have little or no formal training in art history or a related humanities discipline, you may need to take a preparatory year of study on the Postgraduate Diploma in Contemporary Art History. An interest in or understanding of contemporary art theory is also required.

If your first language is not English, you normally need a minimum score of 7.0 in IELTS or equivalent.
