The Doctor of Fine Arts at the University of Macau is a four-year doctoral programme, taught in Chinese and English, for practising artists and art educators. It aims to widen students' creative, theoretical and critical capabilities, and its courses are framed by the notions of greatness and creation.
Intended outcomes include critically appraising scholarly literature on the arts, writing analytical and publishable essays for an arts readership, and building a professional portfolio of original works grounded in theory. The page presents graduates as professional artists with training in artistic creation, theory and art writing, who are eligible for professorships in higher education.
Applicants must hold both a bachelor's and a master's degree, at least one of them in fine art, though interdisciplinary backgrounds are welcome. Curriculum documents and tuition fees are linked from the programme page.
