Chelsea’s MA Art Theory is like engineering - we help you design the theoretical engine to drive your ideas forward.

Throughout the course students will be exposed to potential collaborators, employers and prominent practitioners, through the visiting lecture series and established links with UK and international academic and cultural institutions. The MA Art Theory will enhance the students' employability by granting them fluency in debates that affect all areas of the cultural sector, from art practice and criticism to curating and independent theoretical production. Students graduating from MA Art Theory will also possess an edge in applying for grants and residencies. For those seeking to transition to more research-based projects, including further study at PhD level, the MA Art Theory would constitute an advantage.
