What will I learn?

A critical environment in which to explore contemporary issues through the making of sculpture.

Sculpture at the RCA spans object-making, public art, performance, sound, film, video and more. Rather than focusing solely on Sculpture’s manifestations, we see the discipline as a method for advancing the production of art.

Join a Master’s programme that encourages diverse, experimental approaches. We encourage you to take a critical, reflexive approach in your work and give you the knowledge to situate your practice within contemporary social, political and economic contexts.

Our team of highly regarded teaching staff and guest lecturers highlight the value of research and experimentation to an artistic practice. You’ll be part of a collaborative and interdisciplinary community looking to innovate with technology and imagine new spaces and materials to bring about social transformation.

Entry requirements

For international students

Candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world. The selection process considers creativity, imagination and innovation as demonstrated in your portfolio, as well as your potential to benefit from the programme and to achieve high MA standards overall. You must have a good first degree in sculpture or a relevant subject, as well as being able to display a facility with materials and techniques. You’ll also be knowledgeable about the history and cultural relevance of the disciplines pertinent to the arts and humanities, as well as be able to hold and articulate a view of your own work in relationship to that. You should be able to critically reflect on your work, to question received modes of production and frameworks, and metabolise academic, social and philosophical encounters. If you are not a national of a majority English-speaking country you will need the equivalent of an IELTS Academic or UKVI score of 6.5 with a 6.0 in the Test of Written English (TWE) and at least 5.5 in other skills. Students achieving a grade of at least 6.0, with a grade of 5.5 in the Test of Written English, may be eligible to take the College’s English for Academic Purposes course to enable them to reach the required standard.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
