Program details

Overview

This thesis-based Master of Arts in Visual Arts lets students deepen artistic practice and critical reflection across all visual and media art disciplines over two years of full-time study. Faculty are practising artists and theorists active in Quebec's contemporary arts community, and the curriculum offers a range of seminars supporting hybrid and interdisciplinary approaches. Students identify a thesis supervisor during their first session and develop creative autonomy intended to support professional integration into the artistic and cultural sector. The programme totals 45 credits and culminates in a thesis combining studio production with written reflection.
