Fine Art MA

Hone your fine art skills at your own pace

At home or in the studio, earn your master’s in Fine Art online with Falmouth University’s internationally recognised art experts. 

On this part-time degree, you’ll engage deeply with contemporary issues while exploring sustainable methods to enrich your art with perspectives on political, economic, social, and ecological change.

You’ll have extensive opportunities for creative experimentation and collaboration within an international network of practising artists, curators, writers, and researchers before finishing your learning journey with an ambitious public-facing portfolio. 

Gain analytical skills with Falmouth University

Throughout the master’s, you’ll be challenged to experiment and establish your practice within critical art arenas and deepen your material knowledge. 

You’ll receive support and expert guidance to explore new creative methods, enhance your analytical skills, and grow the ambition of your work as an artist. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to consider the impact of your practice and how it engages with global conversations. 

Develop your collaborative practice on creative projects

You’ll be encouraged to challenge, inform, and reshape the world towards a brighter future – forming new communities and hybrid cultures through learning, collaboration, and creative interventions. 

Critical engagement with art theory, research, and practice forms the backbone of this course, as do sustainability, collaborative ways of working, and a contextual understanding of your practice. 

You’ll develop skills to collaborate on creative projects and operate professionally within the creative industries. To help you sustain your career, you’ll also identify appropriate audiences and markets for your practice. 

Delve into sustainable art

You’ll learn to locate your practice within professional contemporary global art, allowing you to establish a departure point for an independent practice-based research project. 

Next, you’ll understand sustainable strategies to expand your ability to create innovative, sustainable art practices. You’ll develop strategies that align with production and dissemination with creativity and ecological sensitivity.

Develop your portfolio of creative work

Finally, you’ll conclude your studies with a final project. This capstone provides you with the opportunity to realise a unique practice-based research initiative crafted to operate within specific critical and professional contexts. 

By the end, you’ll have a body of work that culminates in a pioneering public-facing project, wherever you are in the world.
