MA 20th Century Art & Design: Histories & Theories – (M.A.)

This innovative course examines the relationship between art, culture and society; how this relationship has shaped art and culture over the last century and the role it will play in informing the next. Through research, analysis, criticism and theory, you'll develop a critical awareness of contemporary culture as well as movements such as post-impressionism, modernism, pop art and postmodernism, in their wider social and historical contexts.

The bursaries will cover the first year's tuition fees. To be considered for a bursary you must have applied and been accepted for a place on this course, to start in Autumn 2008. There are no age restrictions and entry requirements are either a first degree, DIP AD, NDD or teaching certificate or you may also apply if you have an equivalent professional qualification, suitable prior learning or experience.

As art and design play an increasingly important role in our everyday lives,
completing a postgraduate degree in 20th Century Art and Design will benefit those who are interested in pursuing the subject through teaching and research, or via a career in art museums, arts journalism, arts administration or related fields.

"Financial restrictions have often been a barrier to postgraduate study" said Fiona Hackney, Course Leader of MA 20th Century Art & Design: Histories & Theories. She continued,"These new bursaries are aimed to benefit anyone who applies to the course and requires some financial help; the bursaries are competitively awarded from the College to ensure no-one is excluded from achieving their life-long goals".

If this exciting course has sparked a desire to fast-track upgrading your career or find a new path then these three new bursaries could enable you to turn your dreams into reality.
