Students set their own objectives and goals for their MFA, with a view to developing a coherent and sustainable individual practice. The programme is built around one-to-one tutorials with permanent staff and visiting contemporary artists, writers and thinkers chosen by students themselves. Intellectual engagement with contemporary theory is facilitated though tutorials, lectures, seminars, workshops and reading groups. Our student-centred approach to teaching aims at helping students become artists who are independent, articulate, confident and self-motivated.The ethos is interdisciplinary, with students working together across the old media-based divisions. The programme encourages students to engage with issues related to what it means to work as an artist today, and to reflect upon their practice in light of art's complex history and its role in wider social and cultural processes. We offer a supportive, highly engaged environment for study and artistic development at the heart of London's art world.
