The Art and Visual Culture MA is delivered in both full-time and part-time modes, with both September and January start dates. This means that when you start your course you'll be joining a lively community of students, some, like yourself, embarking on the MA and some continuing their studies with us.
The course is modular, with each single module valued at 20 credits, and the dissertation at 60 credits. For the MA, you'll be required to accumulate the total of 180 credits over the course of your degree. Normally, full-time students take one core module and two options per semester and work on the dissertation in the summer. Part-time students would typically take one core module and one option module per semester in the first year and complete further two option modules and the dissertation in their second year of their MA.
The following modules are indicative of what you will study on this course.
We aim to offer a wide range of option modules. However, availability may be affected by timetabling, staff availability, or student demand, so preferred choices cannot always be guaranteed.
