A Master of Fine Arts (MFA) is a graduate-level degree that focuses on advanced studies in the visual arts, performing arts, and creative writing. It's typically pursued by individuals who want to deepen their artistic practice, refine their skills, and develop a comprehensive understanding of their chosen artistic discipline. MFAs are commonly offered in fields such as painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, filmmaking, theater, dance, music, creative writing, and interdisciplinary arts.

MA in Performance is a two-year full time study, for those with a developed artistic practice from any art field, wishing to expand their approach into and as performance. Research with guest artists and faculty in interdisciplinary composition, materiality and new dramaturgies enhance the development of students’ own methods and relations to theory, expanding contested perspectives on what performance is and can do. Students develop ethical reflection within practical master projects, contextualizing their methods and work in the expanded field internationally.
