The MA in Art Business prepares students for careers in the commercial art world. It is designed for students who already have an art history degree or want to pursue a career in this field, and want to understand business theories and practices, as well as the technical and structural elements of the art market.

The course is also designed to cater for the needs of business school graduates since along with traditional business topics, specialised subjects include art law, the structure and mechanisms of the art market and art valuation.

The MA in Contemporary Art is especially suited for those who plan careers as gallery owners, curators, dealers, consultants, writers or critics. At the root of the MA in Contemporary Art is an emphasis on the artwork itself and how we approach and interpret contemporary art. Analysis of paintings, sculpture, installations and conceptual works form a regular part of the curriculum, with tutor-accompanied visits to museums and galleries.

All prospective students that are accepted to our Institute will be required to sign a Standard Student Contract, in alliance with standard CaseTrust regulations.

MA Degrees – New Programme Structure
The Singapore Institute now offers a change from the standard 8 module degree format to a new 6+2 degree format, this will allow you to complete 6 of the core modules for either the MA in Art Business or MA in Contemporary Art degrees, and then make up the other 2 modules from a choice of 6 elective modules. In this way we hope to offer a wider range of options and flexibility of study to each individual student.
