The MA is a studio-based programme with collaborative practice and discovery at its core and you will be encouraged to work across disciplines and, where appropriate, collaborate with other MA programmes within the Liverpool School of Art and Design. The programme will offer a number of options for collaboration including; Science and Archaeological Visualisation, Museum Practice, Education, Public Health, Biomedical Communications, Sports Science and Forensic Investigation.

You will focus on the practical application of art in a science context and be guided in understanding how this translates through a sequence of set and self-initiated projects. You will be encouraged to be critically aware of a range of international contemporary collaborative areas in art and science practice, and will analyse the concepts, values and debates that inform study and practice in the field.

You will define your existing practice and extend its scope and ambition within an Art and Science context, while studying themes related to public engagement, ethics, data protection, working with humans in research, and developing an understanding of current research happening in collaborative areas in Art and Science.

The programme is delivered full-time over one year or part-time over two years and features a significant amount of independent study.

You will exhibit your final work at the Masters degree show which involves all Liverpool School of Art and Design's taught postgraduate Masters students. Full time students complete 4 x 30 credit modules in Semesters 1 and 2 and 1 x 60 credit module between March and August. Part-time students complete 3 x 30 credit modules in their first year and 1 x 30 and 1 x 60 credit module in their second year.
