Art and science are often seen as two different entities with very separate ideas of what constitutes research. The MA Art in Science programme at Liverpool School of Art and Design aims to bring together artists and scientists to explore collaborative approaches in art and science.

Increasingly, collaborations between artists and scientists are a feature of our cultural landscape. Traditionally this relationship has been perceived as art in the service of science, whereby artists use their skills to visually interpret or communicate complex scientific ideas, objects or forms. However, a hybrid form of research has emerged over the last 30 years where artists and scientists are interested in the creative possibilities and speculative futures of the intersection of these two cultures.

Many graduates may go on to work freelance, however there are also career opportunities in a range of related sectors, working as:

• Educational Technologists within medical and dental schools or for pharmaceutical companies
• Artists within public health and medicine
• Graphic Designers and 3D Modelling Artists for biomedical visualisation companies
• PhD Researchers and Research Assistants for research groups and institutions
• Artists in policing
• Archaeological Visualisers
• Scientific Illustrators
