The Master of Visual Arts (MA) degree is a 1 - 2 year degree, with both thesis- and non-thesis options, designed for students with an undergraduate degree in art or design who want to relate their own practice to historical or contemporary theory and practice. It encourages a relationship between technical excellence in the studio and the conceptual aspirations of the discipline. This degree is typically open to applicants with a first degree in visual arts, or with experience or an approved degree in an allied field acceptable to the department.
