INTRODUCTION
The taught postgraduate courses in CCW form an important aspect
of the Graduate School. They are all located and delivered in one or more
of the three colleges and represent the core disciplines of CCW. Since
the development of the Graduate School there is now an opportunity to
establish cross course links based around the key thematic concerns
of the Graduate School. Students from our taught postgraduate courses are
also encouraged to participate in a wide range of dialogues and events
along with research degree students. In addition they also benefit from the
experience and teaching contributions from our prominent professors,
readers and fellows.
Further information on all our taught postgraduate programmes and
courses at CCW is available on the college’s websites:

CHELSEA COLLEGE Of ART AND DESIGN
BriAN ChALKLEY, COUrSE DirECtOr: ‘At Chelsea
we create a tough, challenging and stimulating
environment within which to re-evaluate and contextualize
your practice. You will be equipped to
sustain and develop your practice within a highly
professional context.’
COUrSE CONtENt On the MA Fine Art at Chelsea,
one of the longest-running and most
widely recognized postgraduate fine art courses
in the UK, we are committed to developing
dialogue across the whole spectrum of fine art
practice. It is a distinct feature of this inten-
sively taught course, which will provide you with
a valuable bridge between study and profes-
sional practice. You will learn in a stimulating,
challenging environment, in which we will
encourage you to generate discourse and to
reevaluate practice with each other. You will
need to be committed to producing a high level
of independent work, underpinned by a challenging
theoretical curriculum and instruction
in approaches to research methodology.
The course is aimed at Fine Art graduates
keen to progress their practice to a professional
level within a studio-based setting. We also
welcome applications from students who see the
practice of fine art as central to their profes-
sional aspirations and individual development.
It is possible to study the course full-time for one
year and part-time over two years.

KEY FACtS Supported by a strong postgraduate
community, you will be encouraged to re-evaluate
and contextualize your work by peers as well
as your tutors. This will enable you to place your
work in the context of contemporary fine art
practice, and develop your potential to work as
a professional artist or conduct further research
at PhD level.
The reputation of this course attracts high
profile awards and bursaries that are available to
students throughout the year. These include
the Patrick and Kelly Lynch, the Cecil Lewis and
the Patrick Caulfield scholarships which support
students with tuition fee and maintenance
costs, and the prestigious Red Mansion and GAM
Gilbert de Botton Art Prizes which celebrate
student achievement.
NExt StEPS Many students go on to set up their
own studio practices, developing strong professional
links with galleries and curators at national
and international levels. Graduates from
MA Fine Art at Chelsea include world-renowned
art ists and Turner Prize nominees and winners,
including Anish Kapoor, Mike Nelson, Peter Doig,
Stephen Pippin, Rebecca Warren, Kimio Tsuchiya,
Mariele Neudecker and Andreas Oelhert.
