Master of Arts - Art Writing

The MA Art Writing degree course at UCA Canterbury is considered an ideal choice for individuals seeking to further their education in this field. This particular course is based on the belief that art writing is not simply an additional aspect of art practice, but rather a critical and expansive field that reflects the dynamic nature of contemporary art itself. It provides students with an opportunity to engage with art in a way that encompasses global discourses, regional art communities, and the evolving platforms of communication within the art world.

Students enrolled in this course will have the freedom to engage in innovative thinking and independent research, enabling them to utilize writing for critical research and effectively express complex artistic ideas. They will also gain the skills necessary to navigate the digital landscape where contemporary art discourse thrives, including social media, blogging, and meme culture.

Additionally, this course runs parallel to the MA Fine Art degree program, offering numerous opportunities for students to connect with fellow peers, collaborate on projects, and establish a professional network. This network will serve as a solid foundation upon which students can build or expand their career ambitions.
