Overview

What is the future of storytelling through contemporary fine arts practice? From traditional galleries hosting online exhibitions to the new and emerging online galleries facilitating digital curation – are you an artist who can think of creative solutions to tell compelling stories through fine art? If so, through either full-time or part-time study, our MA Contemporary Fine Art programme of the University of Salford is for you. You’ll use the skills you’ve developed throughout your undergraduate degree, or recent studio practice, to refine your craft, while also gaining the tools and training you need to build a professional career from your passion for creative arts.

Employment

As a result of the body of work you’ll have built up during your MA Contemporary Fine Art studies, and the experience you’ll have gained from exhibiting and building your creative network, you’ll be in a great position to move forward with your plans for a career in the industry.

Many of our graduates continue with their creative careers, with many choosing to establish their reputation by building on the connections they’ve made within local creative communities across the region. Our previous students have also successfully exhibited in a range of venues or been proactive in initiating art-based projects. Others have secured artist residencies in both the UK and abroad.
