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. We are the city of Plymouth’s first and only specialist arts university, allowing us to offer our students a dynamic and unique learning experience.
The university was recently voted 2nd in the UK for Facilities in the annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards, 3rd in the UK for Student Support, and 4th in the UK for Lecturers & Teaching Quality. Arts University Plymouth was crowned the 2024 Winner in South West England for the categories of University of the Year, Facilities, Student Support, and Learning & Teaching Quality. * Why choose MA Glass at Arts University Plymouth?*
We place you at the crossroad of material traditions and futures. Glass is an expanding area of practice that encompasses both time honoured heritage processes and an exciting exploration of new material applications across a range of diverse disciplines and industries. Our MA Glass course places you at the overlap of these creative forces to consider where you can imagine new, unrealised forms and practices.
A pro-active, Interdisciplinary community. New ideas and material practices do not develop in isolation. You come to university to be challenged, supported and to take risks in a context that will inspire you to innovate and understand. Glass as an active process of inquiry into material behaviours, possibilities and interdisciplinary forms. The course encourages conceptual exploration and transformation in whatever direction you take your research as a Glass artist.
Accelerated personal development through guided, practice-led research. We believe glass is a material with unparalleled potential to bridge ancient and contemporary knowledge. As a practice steeped in tacit knowledge that is often transmitted through hands-on skills and customs, the power of the direct creativity that the study of glass offers is aligned to your personal transformation. You will be trained to carry out material-led research processes that lead to personal discovery and future-oriented, contemporary professional options.
World-class workshops and facilities: During your time on the course, you will have access to one of the most diverse and spacious ecosystems of workshops, studios and labs known in a contemporary art and design school. Based primarily in our Materials Lab, you are immersed in facilities that allow you to hone your existing skills and be introduced to novel processes. Our approach is to support the full range of analogue and digital processes where you can play and experiment with where the material meets the technological in your practice.
Sustainable ethos and specialist knowledge: Part of the value of craft and materially-led creative practice is the fact that many traditional methods and techniques take into account the cycles, ecology and biodiversity of nature. Built into our MA Glass course is an emphasis on the sustainable, non-extractive and regenerative approaches to working with materials, which not only provides a meaningful link between the past and the future, but puts you at the forefront of knowing the alternative ways of making that support new, more sustainable industries and give rise to material innovations that better serve the environment and planet.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | 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. |

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 Glass programme encourages the development of individual and distinctive glass practice through engagement with contemporary approaches to the material, critical and cultural context and debate.
You will explore a full range of material expressions that will encourage you and challenge preconceptions about glass and its status within the world of craft, art and design.
The range of materials and processes covered includes hot glass, kiln-formed glass, coldworking, and architectural glass – resulting in a wide range of potential outcomes, from product design and sculpture to architectural installations. The programme is uniquely placed to offer a rich cross-disciplinary practice; you will also have access to our spacious and well-equipped metal and jewellery studios, as well as ceramics and resistant materials workshops, and our superbly equipped Fab Lab.
The programme addresses histories, technologies, contexts, material qualities and conceptual and narrative developments. Current issues around the discipline are explored, such as the rise of digital tools and technologies, hybrid practices, sustainability and globalisation. You are encouraged to consider these issues through testing, making, re-making, evaluating and positioning your critically engaged practice.
This programme encourages entrepreneurial creativity through self-initiated and independent approaches to making, whilst considering the subject at its extreme edges in relation to process, technique, application, potential customer use and audience.
