<p>This course is closed for applications for 2024. Please get in contact with us on <a href="mailto:postgraduate@aup.ac.uk">postgraduate@aup.ac.uk</a> if you're interested in studying with us in 2025.</p>
The MA Printmaking programme encourages you to test the boundaries of what can be considered a fine-art printmaking practice, to work in traditional and non-traditional modalities across a range of practices and mediums.
<p>You will have access to our print studios, allowing you to explore a range of autographic printmaking processes, including intaglio, relief print, screenprinting, letterpress and digital processes.</p>
<p>You will be able to develop your practice through the context of the broadening dialogues around contemporary printmaking in light of recent and ongoing technological advances.</p>

<p>The best deadline to submit your MA application by is <strong>1 July</strong>, however please be reassured that we can take late applications until the start of the course if places are still available.</p>
<p>You will have the opportunity to critically engage with current debates within the subject area, relevant institutional contexts and partners and be encouraged to consider what it means to be an artist in the 21st century. </p>
<p>We’ll support you in articulating your ideas, developing your working methods and creating independent work, through individual tutorials, lectures, subject-specific seminars, studio and gallery visits and group critiques with access to our rich workshop areas and technical resources across the university.</p>
<p>Arts University Plymouth graduates are offered a <strong>discount of 15% on Masters programme fees</strong>, regardless of when they studied with us previously. The discount applies if you studied on one of our pre-degree, foundation or undergraduate programmes.</p>
<p>MA applicants are normally expected to have an undergraduate degree at 2:2 or above. However, the strength of your creative practice and other forms of experience will be taken into account at the interview stage and we encourage you to start a conversation with us.</p>
<p>Your portfolio should give us an indication of the work that you have made, organised or been involved in. For our postgraduate arts, craft and design courses, we expect to see examples of work you have created. </p>
<p>For our MA by Research and MA Museum Studies courses, we don't expect you to have traditional artworks; instead you can share examples of projects you have worked on, classroom experiences you have created, and so on. Please ensure that your portfolio includes descriptions, website links and visuals if they are available.</p>
