Master of Fine Arts
This is a programme for serious artists looking to develop further as articulate practitioners. It is designed to extend your critical capacity, cultural knowledge, studio experience and intellectual development. You will choose a studio research project according to your own artistic medium and complete a dissertation in order to articulate your position in relation to your professional colleagues and international community of practice. The programme's particular strengths lie in the integration of the theoretical and studio components.
