• In a reflective and challenging environment, the postgraduate Fine Art course has a cross-disciplinary structure that encourages students to engage with what it means to practice as an artist today.
  • Students will work closely with local and national galleries and public arts organizations, including Turner Contemporary, Whitstable Biennale, Strange Cargo, and the Folkestone Triennial - and they will be actively supported to develop and show work outside the context of the University, expanding their work’s audiences.
  • Guest lectures, artist masterclasses, and professional practice seminars will help students to develop their personal network and enhance the criticality and articulation of their practice.
  • The 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. It’s supported by seminars, tutorials, workshops, work-in-progress sessions, study visits, and critiques.
  • By the end of the course, students will be working autonomously, instead of staff-led, as students identify, develop, and manage their own Master's project across different social, cultural, artistic, and intellectual contexts. The course is helmed by a team of esteemed tutors, who each continue to enjoy great success in their respective fields.
  • Guiding students on their studies will be Steffi Klenz, an internationally-recognized photographic artist, Edward Chell, a mixed media artist who specializes in painting, and Professor Andrew Kotting, who is an award-winning short film and documentary maker.
  • University takes great pride in ensuring students have a fulfilling, engaging, and inspirational experience and have especially proud of the fact that the student satisfaction rates consistently reflect this with a near 100 percent score.
