Master of Fine Arts - Research 120 points (MFA-FINE-R2MFA)

The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) programme provides an opportunity to advance both your creative practice and research abilities. The MFA is open to students who have completed an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts. This degree is also open to anyone who has completed a university degree, who is able to demonstrate their professional experience through a portfolio that demonstrates their practice as an artist. Students can enter the programme at the beginning of the year, in the first semester or opt for a mid-year start in the second semester. The MFA provides a pathway to doctoral level study. There are three common areas where Fine Arts graduates find employment – public sector, private organisations, or as a practising artist or entrepreneurial creative. As the business world looks to innovators, the capabilities developed through a creative education are becoming highly sought-after.
