Overview

MA of Fine Art from Sheffield Hallam University cultivates your work and ideas while building your career as an artist. The course is designed as an artist’s residency to support you as you develop an individual artistic identity.

Key facts

Immerse yourself in a course that reflects the experience of an artist’s residency.

Pursue creative ideas through a variety of media, approaches and forms.

Evolve your creative thinking, studio work and professional ambitions.

Develop visual media research skills for potential PhD study.

Through seminars and lectures with art professionals, you’ll consider the wider global contexts in which art practice operates. You’ll explore the environment, gender, identity and the role of art in culture today – thinking about how your work will speak to global audiences and perspectives. The course engages you with the diversity of thought and practice that characterise the fine art world, while debating the place of art within the globalised world.

Central to the course is the ongoing development of a studio ethos. You’ll have the opportunity to reconfigure, unravel and rebuild the concerns and research that underpin your experimentation with materials. Reading groups offer fresh and timely ideas by sharing the works of others to encourage thinking in new territories. This includes student-led screenings to discuss works so you can develop your skills in talking about fine art.
