Overview

The MA Fine Art course offers a stimulating community of creative practice in which any curious individual can interrogate what art is, what it can do, and how best they can develop a meaningful artistic role.

Options of full-time or part-time study modes from September, or full-time from January, allow for greater inclusivity, diversity and flexibility.

All disciplines and dispositions are welcome

MA Fine Art at AUB invites those of all backgrounds, life circumstances, ethnicities, neurodiversity and professional experience to embrace "play" as a driver for self-discovery and cultural transformation.

Find a Fine Art grounding, whatever your practice

The course provides a grounding for students from art and non-art backgrounds, supporting practices that are multi-disciplinary and technologically innovative, alongside the discipline-specific such as drawing, photography, sculpture, printmaking, painting, moving image or performance.
