Course summary

The Global Contemporary Art MA is a practice-led course designed to nurture the professional, critical, and collaborative skills needed to pursue impactful, globally-aware and socially responsible artistic and curatorial practices.

The course recognises that there has been a fundamental shift in the vision and purpose of contemporary art in global and translocal contexts. Informed by the work of the Centre for Research and Education in Arts and Media (CREAM), the course will enable you to become a mobile and dynamic professional capable of developing artistic and curatorial practices that are sustainable, critical and imaginative responses to major global challenges.

The course has been designed for arts graduates wishing to further develop their practice, or professionals wanting to explore new opportunities for research-led initiatives and engagement with wider audiences. Youll advance your artistic and curatorial practices through activities that emphasise learning through engagement with real-world scenarios, organisations, platforms and technologies.

Youll be encouraged to experiment with collaborative and interdisciplinary artistic and curatorial methods. Additionally, youll be given opportunities to develop independent or collaborative projects across diverse sites, contexts and platforms, and remain connected with key research and practice themes developed by Westminster School of Arts research platforms and partners. These include sustainable ecosystems, alternative futures, and reclaiming collective identities.

Youll study the year-long Professional Practice module, which aims to support your progression beyond graduation. The module provides mentorship sessions, career seminars and practical workshops alongside other opportunities.

Careers

This course offers the opportunity to develop projects with external partners. Youll be well placed to take up graduate roles within a range of professional settings, including policy development, research and development, third sector and artist-based cooperatives. The course concludes with a significant self-directed Master's project which develops your independence, project management skills and development of your portfolio to showcase your practice for future employers.
