Art Business MA

Give your creativity the commercial edge Study the UK’s only Art Business MA of its kind. Studying this MA in Art Business at Kingston University will give you the commercial acumen to secure roles in galleries, auction houses, insurance and more. You might even graduate ready to set up and manage your own gallery or collection. Through high quality, interdisciplinary teaching, you’ll gain insights, develop practical skills and hone your academic rigour. You’ll explore core business and legal concepts alongside industry-specific knowledge, preparing for the diverse professional landscape you’ll enter when you graduate. During the course, you’ll benefit from being close to London – Europe's art market capital. You’ll learn from both rising and established art market practitioners, and have opportunities to visit a range of galleries, auction houses and art fairs. Because Kingston School of Art and Business School deliver this course in partnership, you’ll learn in a uniquely creative, stimulating environment. This is the only course of its kind in the UK. The course is all about meeting professionals from the industry and learning from them, rather than just studying theoretical disciplines. We had dozens of guest speakers and almost all of them were senior managers from amazing organisations like Christie's, Gagosian and Hauser & Wirth. Yulia Glushkova
