About the School

In the School of Art we specialise in making, curating and writing about contemporary art in a dynamic, critical and interdisciplinary environment. We have a world leading reputation, and work with a network of artists, curators, galleries and museums both in London and internationally to create an inspiring and dynamic place in which to study and develop an artistic practice. Many graduates of the School are among the most recognised names working in art today.

The School has an international reputation for exceptional research and teaching in Fine Art that enables us to establish and maintain links with many prestigious institutions and university art departments across the world. This, together with the cosmopolitan nature of the student body, provides unique opportunities for students to develop cross-cultural collaborative projects.

The post will require an average of two days of teaching per week.
