This course allows you to develop and pursue your own personal design study programme at master’s level, while being supported and supervised by leading national and international scholars, researchers and practitioners. Arts MA allows you to study in a way that suits your individual circumstances and your preferred learning style(s). With support from your mentors you will develop a learning contract that maps out your modules and assessments. Subject to prior approval, you can take up to 90 credits from taught postgraduate modules and complete the rest of your programme through modules that require study that is more independent in nature.

DMU postgraduates have taken on careers in the performing and creative arts, management, research and teaching. While some become entrepreneurs in their own right, others elect to follow an academic career and enter further MPhil or PhD level study. Whatever your chosen career, Arts MA encourages you to develop a specific and personal skills base that relates to your chosen field of study and career trajectory.
