MA Performance and Visual Practices: University of Brighton

Course details

Performance and Visual Practices is an interdisciplinary programme that facilitates practical and theoretical research across different fields of enquiry, whilst providing links to a network of local and national arts agencies and venues.

The course reflects a contemporary visual culture in a state of flux, marked by a shift away from discrete disciplines and familiar dialogues towards a culture of expanded and interdisciplinary practices, such as live art, site-specific performance, sound installation, screendance, music composition and performance.

Career and progression opportunities

Graduates are equipped with the critical, conceptual and practical skills required to pursue careers within the arts, media, cultural and communication industries as independent visual performance practitioners, curators, film and television producers, directors, researchers, community arts practitioners, arts administrators, academics and teachers.

Entry requirements

• For non-native speakers of English: IELTS 6.5 overall and 6.0 in writing.
• Degree and/or experience: Normally, an honours degree in arts-related subjects. Applicants demonstrating the equivalent skills and experience may be considered. Seasoned artists and practitioners whose fields of research might embrace science, philosophy and ecology, and who wish to re-examine their practice within a critically supported frame of reference, are encouraged to apply.
