MFA in Production in Southbank Australia | The University of Melbourne

The Master of Fine Arts program is designed to help qualified individuals explore their research potential, achieve expertise in their artistic discipline, and contribute to contemporary art theory and practice. Through rigorous coursework and personalized guidance, students cultivate both creative excellence and leadership skills within a global learning environment. Earning this degree demonstrates completion of an original research project conducted under expert supervision in an academic setting over a designated timeframe. Students present either a 30,000-40,000 word written thesis or a combined creative/written project totaling 40,000 words, with the written portion constituting at least 25% (10,000 words) of the final work. Acceptable creative submissions include performances, exhibitions, literary works, designs, films, digital media, or other innovative formats, provided the faculty can support the technical requirements. All creative pieces must be thoroughly documented, with either the documentation or original work submitted alongside the written analysis.
