Our postgraduate programmes
Arts and Ecology*
MFA, MA, PGDip, PGCert
Full time and part time
Starts January 2022
This is the most decisive decade in human history and unlike previous highly significant periods in history, we are fully aware of how pivotal these few years are to our species and the planet as human habitat. Arts and Ecology is a low residency master’s degree that asks how the whole of our humanity can be brought to this urgent conversation. How can we combine urgency with deepening attention? What is the relationship between art and activism, art and social change? How can ingrained habits, behaviours, assumptions be changed through arts practice?
