This degree can offer you formal recognition for your work if you are an established researcher and do not already hold a doctoral level qualification.
This professional development degree will help you extend your studio research and practice and make original conceptual advancements in your discipline. Gain research skills and the ability to articulate a theoretical position within a visual arts discourse.

These specialist degrees combine coursework with professional and/or artistic practice.
Graduate Certificates
Graduate Certificates provide graduates from all professional disciplines with a solid understanding of their choses visual arts field.
