MFA Curatorial Practice (Art & Design)

In this course, you will explore curating art and design as a creative and collaborative practice in response to a range of real-world contexts and communities.

Curating can take many forms from working with collections to temporary commissions or producing events and publications. Whether you are working with or as an artist, you will develop your practice guided by your interests and ambitions.

Your work will be supported by lectures, workshops and seminars with internationally experienced practitioners and researchers in the fields of contemporary art, design, writing and performance.

The course will help you expand your creative, critical, and technical skills. You will also gain practical experience in exhibition-making and event production.

Curating at Dundee differs from other courses in Scotland by focusing on the breadth of art and design knowledge and practices. You'll study in a UNESCO City of Design with significant galleries and museums, artist-led organisations, festivals, theatre, dance and performance spaces, and local authority-run projects.

Outside of the University, your learning will be further developed through engaging with our institutional partner, the V&A Dundee, and other art and culture organisations in and around Dundee.
