Contemporary Art History and Curating MA
Our MA in Contemporary Art History and Curating is a one year full-time or two year part-time programme. It combines art history with the practical curatorial skills needed to work in the contemporary arts sector.
As a Contemporary Art History and Curating Master’s student you will learn about:
- art historical principles and methodologies
- how to critically analyse and interpret art practices
- the complex landscape of contemporary art
- challenges and opportunities facing the contemporary art sector concerning ecology, authorship and ethics
You’ll be taught by a diverse community of experts made up of practicing art historians, artists and curators who will prepare you to make meaningful contributions to the field of contemporary art history and curating.
Practicing your learning through the design of workshops and exhibitions, you’ll frequently plan and run your own exhibits in the Hatton Gallery. You’ll also regularly visit a diverse range of local galleries and creative art spaces in the city and surrounding areas.
