Summary
**Arts University Plymouth is an arts university for the 21st century, preparing students who are uniquely placed to provide creative solutions to the complex global challenges of a changing world**. Formerly known as Plymouth College of Art, we were granted full university title in Spring 2022. We are now the city of Plymouth’s first and only specialist arts university, allowing us to offer our students a dynamic and unique learning experience.
In May 2022 we were awarded the **Best Small or Specialist University at the 2022 WhatUni Student Choice Awards** coming top in a list of well-respected specialist UK universities, and in 2023 were awarded Silver in the same category, based on unbiased and honest reviews from students across the UK, in a category that highlights the quality of our provision as a specialist creative university.
**The MA Drawing programme enables you to examine, interrogate and reflect upon the nature and role of drawing as practice.**
We provide a critically engaged and supportive studio environment in which you can develop and extend your use of drawing, encouraging you to take risks with your own practice and to experiment with and critically reflect upon drawing practice, using current research.
A key feature of the MA Drawing programme is to provide a forum in which drawing issues from across postgraduate disciplines can be explored and tested. The programme involves an interrogation of the potential of drawing to communicate, explain and propose ideas.
You will explore a range of strategies, materials and technologies, helping you define a personal methodology for drawing. The programme enables you to seek opportunities to extend your practice, as well as stimulating connections, debates and new
approaches to drawing across a range of disciplines.

Summary
**Plymouth College of Art has been granted full university status and formally recognised with the new title of Arts University Plymouth, following approval by the Privy Council. This makes us the City of Plymouth’s first specialist arts university.**
The title of Arts University Plymouth signifies a change to the way that the world will see us, our position within the sector and the mobility of our graduates; but not a change in the way that we see ourselves or what we do. Arts University Plymouth will build upon the existing strength of our unique culture and incredible community; we have no plans to change the specialist focus of the work we do together. The name Arts University Plymouth will appear on our qualifications, making it easier for employers and peers to recognise that our students were taught at a leading specialist arts university.
In May 2022 we were awarded the **Best Small or Specialist University at the 2022 WhatUni Student Choice Awards**, coming top in a list of well-respected specialist UK universities, based on unbiased and honest reviews from students across the UK, in a category that highlights the quality of our provision as a specialist creative university.
**Our MA Drawing programme enables you to examine, interrogate and reflect upon the nature and role of drawing as practice.**
**Ethos**
This programme challenges assumptions about drawing by providing a forum in which to critically examine the potential of drawing to communicate, explain and document ideas, but also to be viewed as a performative process or a method to investigate experience.
Providing a critically engaged and supportive environment in which you can develop and challenge your use of drawing, this programme encourages you to experiment, take risks with your own work, and to reflect upon drawing practice by engaging with the rich body of
contemporary research in this area.
**Outline**
You will be encouraged to develop a personal methodology for drawing, while exploring a range of strategies, materials and technologies. The programme will stimulate connections, debates and new approaches to drawing across varied disciplines in a dynamic studio setting, with access to workshop areas across the college. Throughout the programme, we
will support you to seek opportunities to extend your practice, both nationally and
Internationally.
Taught delivery within the programme provides a mix of discipline-specific methods and cross-disciplinary approaches that can be applied across creative and commercial sectors. Our shared module structure allows you to develop a dialogue with creative practitioners across the Graduate School.
**Supported practices**
This programme supports a wide range of figurative, non-figurative and experimental drawing, including drawing as performance, embodied drawing and other approaches to drawing in an expanded field.
