What is an MA in Fine Arts Studies? This academic field specializes in the various ways of assessing and discussing fine art. The curriculum is designed to prepare students to contribute their opinions to this field, and so coursework tends to emphasize discussion groups. Some programs incorporate a study of music into the degree, while others focus exclusively on visual arts. In either case, students generally take courses in art theory, art criticism and history of art.

One important personal benefit of this path of study is that it can allow graduates a better appreciation for the fine arts. With the tools needed to discuss and critique art, graduates can begin to form a better sense of their own taste and preferences.

Each MA in Fine Arts Studies will involve different costs, including tuition and enrollment fees. Get in contact with each school directly for more specific information about these costs.

An MA in Fine Arts Studies can open the door to a number of careers. An eye for art can be a particularly marketable talent when it comes to art museums and galleries, at which graduates can find work as art critics, art museum curators, collectors and gallery directors. Another option for those students who would rather remain within the realm of the academic study of fine arts is to obtain teaching credentials and become teachers or professors.

Contemporary Art Practice (CAP) at the Royal College of Art is a cutting-edge MA programme in the School of Arts & Humanities that is driven by a post-medium, critical approach to the making and reception of art, where theory and practice come together to form new ways of responding to the contemporary world. The programme supports the development of your art practice within a responsive, dialogical and critical context with an emphasis on wider political issues – interrogating art production in relation to urgent socio-political contexts as well as questioning and redefining practice. -

The Art and Visual Culture MA is part of the Cultural and Literary Studies Suite, a cluster of four MAs that bring together academics, curators and practitioners who share a commitment to investigating modern and contemporary culture from aesthetic, critical, literary, and experiential perspectives. You'll share classes with students from the Cultural and Critical Studies MA, the English Literature: Modern and Contemporary Fictions MA, and the Museum, Galleries and Contemporary Culture MA, joining a fruitful and intellectually-rigorous environment designed to facilitate the sprouting of interdisciplinary thinking. As part of our Suite, you may also choose an option module from the other three MA programmes (what is referred to as an ‘elective’ module), a fantastic opportunity to explore a facet of culture outside of your chosen MA programme. The Art and Visual Culture MA is an interdisciplinary, visual theory-based course established around the belief that visual literacy and the impact of visual forms of thinking and working play significant roles in our society. In the course, we interrogate visual perception and representation in high and popular culture, explore how these produce meanings, and how such meanings shape societies and individuals. -
