Program details
Overview
Media and Artistic Research at the University of Regina's Faculty of Media, Art, and Performance offers graduate study for students whose practice and research extend beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries, combining contemporary theoretical and methodological approaches in the fine arts and cultural studies. At the master's level, the program offers a one-year, thesis-based Master of Arts and a two-year Master of Fine Arts built around a research- and exhibition-based art project. The MA path encourages research questions that investigate new terrain and prepares students for roles such as academic, policy-maker, curator, or arts organization director; the MFA path centres on producing an art project that makes an original contribution to relevant artistic and interdisciplinary fields. Admission to either master's option requires a four-year undergraduate degree from an accredited university. Students have access to studios, labs, and shared office space, along with opportunities for professional placements at arts organizations. The program is delivered on the University of Regina's campus and suits artists and researchers whose work crosses conventional boundaries between studio practice, theory, and cultural studies, rather than fitting a single traditional discipline.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Admission to the interdisciplinary Media and Artistic Research program requires, for the Master of Arts route, a four-year undergraduate degree from an accredited university or a similarly recognized qualification; the Master of Fine Arts route typically expects a Bachelor of Fine Arts or Bachelor of Music, with admission based on academic standing and a proposal for an MA thesis or MFA project. The page states no numeric GPA or English-proficiency figures and instead points to the graduate calendar for complete admission requirements, so the general Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research (FGSR) Master's standard applies: a graduating average of at least 70%. International applicants must show English proficiency of CAEL 70, IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, PTE Academic 59, or Duolingo English Test 125 overall.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
