当代艺术硕士可作为本科学习与独立艺术实践之间的桥梁，是为尚未接受正规学习的艺术家提供的进修课程，也可作为缺乏正规资格但具有丰富专业知识的艺术家接受进一步高等教育的切入点经验，包括那些无法参加或完成荣誉年的公认能力。本课程的重点是双重的-在艺术实践中发展个人的表达，并加深对这种实践与当代艺术的相交的理解。第一年的重点是实验和投机，旨在确定第二年要深入研究的研究领域。第二学年包括一个为期两个学期的工作室项目，该项目最终进行评估，并在大师展览中进行公开演讲，每年作为该学年的总结性活动举行。
The Master of Contemporary Art serves as a bridge between undergraduate study and independent art practice. The focus of the course is twofold: to develop an individual, professional art practice and a deeper understanding of how this practice intersects with contemporary art. The emphasis in the first year is on experimentation, speculation and engaged dialogue with staff and other students in an on-campus independent studio setting. In the second year, you will identify an area of independent research to investigate via a year long studio project, which culminates in an assessment and public exhibition in the annual Masters exhibition. Tuition is conducted through a seminar programme and individual tutorials, with support from an assigned Academic Advisor. Throughout the degree you will have opportunities to access a wide range of professional opportunities including graduate intensives, group and solo exhibition, and local and international travel.
