| Over the past number of years, MA SPACE has established an international reputation for delivering a high-level Masters programme which focuses on Social Practice and the Creative Environment [SPACE]. This pioneering programme, the first of its kind in Ireland, is tailored towards the development of a sustainable artistic praxis rather than training in certain media or genres. A grounding in theory, critical thinking and interdisciplinary research supports a multitude of possibilities in socially engaged art practice. MA SPACE is a taught Masters programme, it is delivered over one-year full-time and also offers flexible part-time options. MA SPACE is leading new thinking and approaches to Art and Design education, the programme is designed to fulfill student demand from art, design and related fields and is interdisciplinary in nature. The programme is distinctive in that; - It is focused on social practice. - It is delivered through theory and practice. - It is open to practitioners of art and design. - It is also open to experienced graduates outside of the art and design fields. MA SPACE – Expectations and opportunities Initially on MA SPACE, modules lead you through the critical and theoretical frameworks current in the field of social practice. The first stage of the programme is designed to fuel practice through enquiry. Students will meet key artists, designers, policy makers, cultural producers, agencies and public brokers. In the second stage of the programme each postgraduate becomes a practitioner working in a chosen area of interest; each will undertake a project, which becomes the focus for documentation, reflection and evaluation. The programme intention is to assist each postgraduate to find a professional practice, a career, which is sustainable beyond their time on MA SPACE. Since the programme's inception, our alumni have made outstanding contributions as socially engaged artists, designers, scholars, entrepreneurs and community leaders. The programme is delivered by both Limerick School of Art & Design faculty, who are recognized contemporary practitioners in socially engaged art, and is supported by a varied range of national and international visiting lecturers.
