Master Of Creative Arts - Research

The MCA-R is a course for high level creative arts practitioners whose work is at a standard beyond that required for the pass masters but who do not possess the requirements for entry to the doctoral program. In some cases, it may be possible to transfer to the DCA after a suitable period of study (normally at least the equivalent of nine months of full-time enrolment). Assessment for the MCA-R is by two external assessors.

Length of Course

Minimum of 1.5 years full-time or 3 years part-time.

Requirements for Admission

Applicants for the MCA-R should hold an appropriate Bachelor degree with Honours Class II, Division 1, or higher (or its equivalent) and be able to demonstrate evidence of strong artistic potential. Examples of artistic attainment and potential include publication or professional dissemination of work; grants, fellowships and prizes; high level professional activity; and various indicators relevant to the specific discipline.

Candidates for the MCA-R enrol in CREA925 Masters Presentation and two 12 credit point coursework subjects. Applicants who have completed other relevant qualifications deemed to be equivalent may be granted advanced standing for one or both of the 12 credit point coursework subjects.
