The time we spent in the studio was playful, creative and critically active.

Explorative and creative

As an artist and educator who was really questioning my position in the field, the MA Arts and Learning degree gave me the scaffolding to explore wider theories critically, while building on my own unique experiences and practice.

I enjoyed the community of practice between the Masters programme and the PhD – the time we spent in the studio together was playful, creative and critically active. Through completing MA Arts and Learning I feel more empowered within my unique art practice and the wider arts education arts community.

Advice for prospective students

Peer engagement is crucial – chat as much as you can to BA, MA and PhD students in your department. Also branch out and meet people from other departments – there are so many student-led shows, events and screenings. Look out for things that you’re interested in.
