This course embraces the diversity and complexity of contemporary art practices. You will study an in-depth programme that enables concept, production and reception of art to be tested within a scrutinised framework of current practices. UoH aim to provide an opportunity for individual growth and professional development. Your work is analysed and supported through a developed critical framework of critiques, seminars, individual tutorials, studio workshops and lectures. A dynamic interplay between theory and practice expands critical discourse and conceptual/creative development.
