Slade School of Fine Art MPhil

The UCL Slade School of Fine Art is one of the UK's most renowned university departments for fine art. We approach research as the practice of art and reflections upon that practice through methods that are experimental, imaginative and diverse.

Applicants must hold an upper second-class UK Bachelor’s degree or its overseas equivalent and will normally be expected to have studied to UK Master’s level, or its overseas equivalent, in either fine art or in art history/theoretical studies.

The English language level for this programme is: Level 4

UCL Pre-Master's and Pre-sessional English courses are for international students who are aiming to study for a postgraduate degree at UCL. The courses will develop your academic English and academic skills required to succeed at postgraduate level.

Further information can be found on our English language requirements page.

The UCL Slade School of Fine Art doctoral programme aims to develop research potential and graduates go on to further their careers as professional artists, many receiving important public and private commissions, gaining gallery representation, winning major prizes and international artist residencies, as well as developing new artist-led initiatives worldwide. Others have published their thesis as a monograph and taken on roles in related careers, including curating, museum and gallery management, education, and many other roles within the creative industries both within the UK and internationally.
