Program details
Overview
This Master of Fine Arts in Art and Design is a thesis-based graduate degree offered on campus by the University of Alberta, with four available specializations: Drawing/Intermedia, Painting, Printmaking and Sculpture. Students work within their chosen studio discipline under faculty supervision, developing a body of creative work supported by research and critical study. Applicants who need to complete prerequisite coursework before beginning the program typically spend an additional year in preparation. The program suits students who already hold an undergraduate degree in fine arts, or its equivalent, and want to deepen their studio practice at the graduate level within one of the four listed specializations before pursuing careers as practising artists, designers or further graduate study.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must normally hold a bachelor's degree in fine arts, or its recognized equivalent, from a recognized institution. Students who, in the Department's assessment, need to complete prerequisite courses will typically spend one additional year in preparation before beginning the program. Applicants are required to submit visual records or a portfolio of their work, along with documentation of their previous artistic experience, as part of the application.
