Our studio-based MA Fine Art course provides an opportunity for you to further explore, test and challenge your creative ideas in a supportive, professional environment.
You will benefit from links we have with external arts organisations in Cambridge, including Curwen Print Study, Cambridge Artworks, Wysing Art Centre and galleries and exhibition spaces, both in Cambridge and further afield.
We also have strong connections with the Printmaking pathway on the MA Fine Art programme at UAL, Camberwell College of Art, and since 2017, we have taken part in an annual MA Fine Art Inter-Institutional Symposium, which we hosted at ARU in June 2023. This included 47 students from ARU, AUB, BCU, NUA, Leeds, Nottingham Trent and Farnham.
We encourage our students to visit the multiple exhibitions in London (only one hour away) and promote student participation in open and prestigious competitions and prizes. For students specialising in Printmaking, Curwen Print Study offer the Art Scholars Curwen lithography Bursary & Residency award, which is open to students studying within the eastern region.
This postgraduate degree in Fine Art will further prepare you for life as a practising artist and develop important transferable skills in writing proposals, exhibition practice, curating, research and critical writing. These will be invaluable skills for alternative arts careers in curating, museum and gallery education or management, or teaching.
