Key Summary
This dynamic and flexible MA course is designed for students who are interested in a wide range of creative subjects, and offers opportunities to specialise while also exploring and integrating multiple creative disciplines. Whether you're passionate about one particular art form or eager to push boundaries by combining and crossing different practices, this course allows you to develop your unique creative voice. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative practice, and critical reflection, you can enhance your skills, experiment across artistic forms, and build a diverse and adaptable creative portfolio. With a focus on both practical and theoretical learning, this MA provides an ideal environment to cultivate artistic expression, engage in multi-disciplinary approaches, and prepare for a range of professional opportunities in the creative sector.
The course aims to encourage interdisciplinary dialogue, creative exchange, and collaborative practice. You can transcend disciplinary boundaries, providing you with broad, culture- and creativity-driven experiences that nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and exploration. Our commitment to collaboration extends to research initiatives, artistic endeavours, and community engagement, thereby enriching the educational experience and equipping you with the skills and dispositions to thrive as versatile, empathetic, and socially conscious creative practitioner in an ever-evolving global landscape.
Across one year, you can develop practical and conceptual skills relevant to your chosen field, in order to prepare for professional practice or further study. You'll be able to locate and analyse your creative identity and professional field, identify relevant opportunities for creative entrepreneurship, and critically evaluate your working methods to make them more effective, efficient, and sustainable. MA Creative Arts offers the opportunity both to refine and grow discipline-specific skills and experience, whilst also engaging with practitioners working in other areas.

In the constant noise and clamour to be heard, we'll consider how to make our work stand out. We'll explore a variety of different traditional and non-traditional platforms and approaches to getting the message across, which will build into your own marketing, communications, and audience development package to support your practice or promote the work of others.
We'll be hearing from the Lincoln Arts Centre team and engaging with other professional cultural organisations to analyse and understand the strategies and campaigns that they've put in place. What worked, what didn't, and why?
