The MFA is designed to respond to students who already have a practice and who are able to readily determine where they are in relation to a field and its histories of practices and ways of working. It is the role of the MFA to work outwards, as it were, towards a context for the students practice.

The MFA curriculum is designed so that students in the field of Fine Art:

  • Kick-start a career or develop an idea

  • Become able, professional and directed
  • Have a trajectory towards progression to a future Professional Doctorate

Student Destinations

The MA Fine Art programme enables students to enhance their careers as, or to become, established artists leading towards a career, a PhD, or to a Professional Doctorate. Cardiff School of Art and Design offers Professional Doctoral programs in both Art and Design.

Our Masters in Fine Art is designed to enable students to achieve the attributes of greater flexibility, adaptability, and 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/or 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 own hybrids of material and theoretical based practices that can further enhance the discipline.
