Master of Arts in Fine Art University for the Creative Arts - Canterbury Campus, UK

What does it mean to be an artist today? On our MA Fine Art course at UCA Canterbury, you'll reflect and act upon this question in order to re-evaluate your work and improve your own practice.

Our cross-disciplinary course is open to artists, designers, illustrators, architects and theorists – including graduates in the humanities – and is designed to inspire new and innovative approaches to fine art study at an advanced level.

You’ll work closely with local and national galleries and public arts organisations, including Turner Contemporary, Whitstable Biennale, Strange Cargo and the Folkestone Triennial – and be actively supported to develop and show work outside the context of the University, expanding your audiences.

Guest lectures, artist masterclasses and professional practice seminars will help you develop your personal network and enhance the criticality and articulation of your practice.

By the end of the course, you’ll be working autonomously as you identify, develop and manage your own Master's project across different social, cultural, artistic and intellectual contexts. You may wish to take your degree into a career exhibiting your own art, or the art of others, turn to filmmaking and video editing, move into education or work in the world of print or photography.

Our course is led by a team of tutors who each continue to enjoy great success in their respective fields. Guiding you on your studies will be Steffi Klenz, an internationally-recognised photographic artist, Edward Chell, a mixed media artist who specialises in painting and Professor Andrew Kotting, an award-winning short film and documentary maker.

We take great pride in ensuring you have a fulfilling, engaging and inspirational experience, and we’re especially proud of the fact our student satisfaction rates consistently reflect this, with a near 100 per cent score.
