Our MA Contemporary Dialogues Portfolio creates a unique learning platform from which students are encouraged to broaden their creative experience through experimentation, collaboration and interdisciplinary discourse. Based in our dedicated studio spaces at the ALEX Building, opposite Swansea’s Glynn Vivian Gallery, students are prompted to explore a wide range of interdisciplinary approaches and materials, via excellent workshop facilities, together with the ongoing development of theoretical understanding. We also have an exciting research culture supported by academics who hold doctorates and associated expertise. We offer several research degree options, including the master’s by Research (MRes), a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). All students contribute to the vibrant postgraduate research forum of experimentation, philosophical enquiry and practice-based exploration. Supervision is offered for research through practice and/or via a written thesis, in a broad range of subjects.

The University, however, reserves the right to make variations to programme contents, entry requirements and methods of delivery, and to discontinue, merge or combine programmes, both before and after a student’s admission to the University, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University.

This art book illustrates how the intimate and vibrant creative community of students and staff at Swansea College of Art combines the intrinsic traditions of art practice with the academic themes of the contemporary art, design and media industries. With reference to our long tradition as an art school, dating back to 1853, we illustrate our core philosophical aims through the various facilities that are on offer to our students and through examples of how learning is inspired within our innovative student projects. As the students engage with these fundamental elements of their academic studies they gather the confidence and freedom to challenge their creative discipline as well as our cultural expectations of the world around us. We encourage our students to explore and cultivate their potential, to define their personal creative identities so that as graduates they can fully participate in helping to design the future.
