This practice-led, modular programme for creative graduates will evolve your practice and enhance employability in a world-leading performing and production arts education environment.

As contemporary creative artists often work across and beyond the traditional boundaries of artistic disciplines, the focus will be on bespoke, individual learning. You will engage in critical inquiry to identify meaningful goals and develop essential knowledge, skills and attitudes for success in your artistic journey. Throughout the programme, you will have the opportunity to build a professional network and receive support to critically engage with your practice in order to transform your creative identity. It will also help you enhance your skills for freelance work, employment with creative agencies or further academic study, while expanding your professional network.

This is a flexible programme, where you’ll work alongside RCS lecturers and industry experts, as well as our network of national and international partners.

The MA is designed to integrate with your existing arts practice and includes a significant amount of student-led learning. It will be complemented by intensive residencies (either in-person or online) at the beginning and end of the programme, as well as online delivery, one-to-one support, and peer group learning..
