MFA of Fine Art

... United Kingdom
... Cardiff Metropolitan University

Course Overview

Our Masters in Fine Art is designed to enable students to achieve greater flexibility, adaptability, individual responsibility and autonomy as professional designers or researchers. The course aims to develop individuality, creativity, self-reliance, initiative, and the ability to perform in rapidly changing environments as well as increasing competence with research skills and methods which will make graduates highly employable as academics and researchers, or enable them to develop an active and sustained practice as designers.

The MFA enables graduates, mid-career and professional practitioners from within and outside of the discipline of Fine Art to negotiate and examine strategies of practice whilst being able to create their hybrids of material and theoretical-based practices that can further enhance the discipline.

All students receive individual PDP tutorials to support employability and life-long learning. Students will be expected to maintain learning journals evidencing continuous visual documentation that integrates self-reflection opportunities to help them develop as effective and confident learners.

After the programme, a very high percentage of MFA graduates establish or continue their professional practice, enabled by the links they have made with design studios or organisations associated with the visual arts and design. Some elect to continue with their Fine Art studies at CSAD by undertaking a PhD.
