MA LEVEL

MA Artist Teachers and Contemporary Practices, three years, part-time

A distinctive MA programme, successfully established in 2006 consisting of:-

  • studio practice in contemporary art and pedagogy;
  • the history and theory of contemporary gallery practices;
  • the theory and practice of contemporary pedagogy.

Contirbutions to the course are made by a range of internationally known artists including Sonia Boyce, Susan Pui San Lok and Ingrid Pollard. Elements of the course are delivered by or at Tate Modern, Tate Britain and inIVA, the Institute of International Visual Arts.

Goldsmiths is starting a new full-time pathway from September 2010. This pathway will mirror key aspects of the part-time course and there will sometimes be overlaps. A major difference in the two pathways, however, is that students on the full time course will be given studio space at Goldsmiths as an integral part of the programme.

The course is now operating a module with the Constance Howard Textile Archive and Research Centre which is based at Goldsmiths. As part of this module, students also attend sessions in the Women's Art Library based also at Goldsmiths and sample materials in that collection.

A partial fee subsidy for this course is provided by the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) via NSEAD as part of their Postgraduate Professional Development fund and is available to teachers with Qualified Teacher Status working in maintained schools in England.
