Entry requirements
Candidates are selected entirely on merit and applications are welcomed from all over the world, as well as from mid-career artists and career changers. The selection criteria will consider creativity, imagination and innovation as demonstrated in your portfolio or equivalent professional experience, as well as your potential to benefit from the programme and to achieve high MFA standards overall.
You will typically require one or more of the following:
- A level 6 qualification such as a Bachelor's degree or Graduate Diploma in a subject associated with the arts or humanities
- A level 7, MA, qualification
- An arts practice that evidences Master’s level engagement (evidenced via portfolio)
- Given the interdisciplinary, outward-facing nature of the programme, alongside the ambition to expand the range of knowledges, approaches and positions that forge what contemporary arts and humanities might be, we also welcome applicants from a broad range of previous disciplines and backgrounds, beyond visual art.
