Fine Art: Curating | Bristol, UWE

Course summary

You’ll study our innovative course with a small group of peers, designed to offer critical, collaborative and personal approaches to curating in contemporary cultural contexts. We will collectively consider: who are we to be curating, at this time and place, with and for whom?

You’ll gain knowledge and insights into contemporary arts practice and debates, taught by experts with a long history of excellence in curating. This, and the range of resources at our City Campus, will equip you to work at a professional level, plugging into the contemporary discourse of regional, national, and international communities.

Whether a recent arts or humanities graduate, or established professional looking to develop academically, this course will push your practice to the next level.

You’ll be perfectly placed studying in Bristol, one of the UK’s most creatively influential settings. Based on Bristol's historic harbourside at Arnolfini contemporary art centre, you’ll be at the heart of Bristol's creative community, with access to UWE Bristol's City Campus.

Our students have the opportunity to build long-lasting professional relationships with our influential partners in the creative industries.

You’ll graduate with a globally recognised qualification and many options available to you in the creative industries.
