MA Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking

The course benefits from the extensive facilities and reputation of UWE's Print Centre, with active links to the Centre for Fine Print Research (CFPR) - bringing research expertise, valuable placement opportunities, and access to related symposia, conferences and exhibitions.

MA Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking at UWE Bristol is best known for its experimental, forward-thinking approach to printmaking today and the future of the printed artefact. With a focus on making, you can explore and experiment with a diverse mix of traditional and emerging fine art printmaking media and develop ideas through processes such as laser cutting, enamelling, electronics, wood engraving and lithography.

You will study alongside a broad base of students with diverse backgrounds in a professional, well-connected, research-active environment with full access to specialist facilities (some of the best in the country) and support from highly regarded master printers, practicing artists and researchers.

Careers

Our students are taught by practicing artists and researchers, bringing skills and expertise exclusively to those at Postgraduate level.

Many of our graduates enter or continue employment in the creative industries in professional studios, as self-employed artists, illustrators and designers running their own businesses or in teaching in both formal and community education programmes.

Spike Print Studio in Bristol, the largest open-access print studio in the South West, employs six alumni (including the studio director). Others are employed at national print studios or have established their own professional studios, for example The Lemonade Press in Bristol.

Some students also progress to PhD study at UWE Bristol, through the CFPR.

Our award-winning careers service helps you develop your employment potential through career coaching, a vacancy service for internships, placements, jobs, global opportunities, volunteering and community activity plus support for entrepreneurial activity, and access to employer events.

Entry requirements

We are looking for highly motivated creative students from a range of art, media and design backgrounds. Usually applicants will have an undergraduate degree in the Visual Arts but those with other academic qualifications or professional experience are also encouraged to apply.
