The Doctor of Fine Arts (DFA) program is designed for active artists and art instructors across diverse Art & Design fields, encompassing areas such as:
Painting
Photography, film and video production
Performance-based art
Three-dimensional art
Decorative arts
Digital art forms
This structured doctoral program offers flexible part-time study through blended online and on-campus research with supervision. Students can primarily work from their home nations, visiting the university just once annually. Alternatively, participants may opt for intensive full-time study periods on campus, which accelerates program completion while fostering engagement with the university's research network.
The program's core principle maintains that artistic practice and academic research are inseparable. Students will maintain their creative work while applying it to doctoral-level research inquiries. Final submissions will combine a written dissertation with a curated exhibition of artistic work.
