Study MA Fine Art at University of East London in the UK, School of Arts and Digital Industries

What will I learn?

Our course encourages you to develop your ambitious and innovative work within the supportive atmosphere of studio-based practice and under the close supervision of some of Britain's leading artists. We've been providing opportunities for ground-breaking talent since the Chapman brothers started making their dramatic impression back in the 1980s. Now, the course leader believes it just keeps getting better.The core elements of the course are designed to be challenging and enjoyable and to offer a rich, vibrant and varied experience in the fine arts. There is a strong professional practice element so you will be encouraged to get involved in 'real world' projects – usually exhibitions, commissions, or residencies.The course culminates in the degree show, which is a significant showcase for your work, attracting large numbers of visitors from the art world as well as the general public.The entire programme will be designed around mixed delivery of seminars, workshops, residencies, industry briefs, collaborative interdisciplinary projects and visits to collections, galleries, practitioners, museums and community groups which will ensure the field of study is both global and local.We're proud that our students go on to make their names as designers, design coordinators, pattern cutters, fashion technologists, product developers and retail managers.As one of our graduates Lucy Johnson, who now owns the streetwear label Brahboys, says of the course, "It was a fun and emotional experience that I'd recommend to anyone thinking of a career in fashion."At Graduate Fashion Week 2016, one of our students, Antonia Nae, won the prestigious Lipsy Red Carpet Award for her sweeping black dress.
