The M.Litt in Fine Art practice is a new postgraduate programme in the School of Fine Art at GSA. It is a one year taught programme, with four pathways in photography, sculpture, painting, and printmaking. Students applying to the programme identify in advance which pathway they would like to study; they are housed within, and supported by staff from, the appropriate area of the School of Fine Art. The M.Litt is studio based, and centred on practice.

Throughout the year on the programme, each student passes through three stages of studio practice: Origination (in which first forays into the project's content and themes are made); Investigation (in which testing, sampling and experimentation are key); and Consolidation (the bringing to fruition of the year's work in a cohesive portfolio of output).

Students on the M.Litt in Fine Art Practice oscillate between operating within their pathways (in the studio, in tutorials and crits, and specifically focused lectures and seminars), and across them - especially in lectures and talks that deal with more generic conceptual and philosophical issues. Efforts are made to ensure that students on the programme are enabled to fully devote themselves to their chosen field of practice, whilst facilitating their learning through the provision of a range of interdisciplinary opportunities for critical reflection and personal development.
