Virtual open house for MFA with scholarships and Doctoral Creative Research
March 1–15, 2018
www.transartinstitute.org

Please join us for spring open house from March 1–15. Opportunities to meet students, alumni, advisors and faculty from around the globe by phone or Skype. Schedule and additional information are here.

At Transart your creative work is the research itself, together with a written component that either informs and supports your research or is an integral part of it.

The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) is a 1–2 years exploration and honing of your praxis, culminate in a master’s studies with a 20-page process report or thesis, dialogue presentation and new body of work in any relevant form.

The Doctor of Creative Arts (DCA) is an advanced form of the MFA (ten years experience) where you develop a new project or body of work. Your written research is guided through cumulative stages in which a critical reflection—50-page process report or analysis of your own practice—will emerge.

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is for artists and other creative researchers with a specific research project or question/s they want to examine in order to further develop their work. Led by your research question/s it is a combination of your praxis and reflection where your writing—a thesis of approximately 40,000 words—actively contributes to the creative work itself.

Both new doctoral programmes (expected start date summer 2018) culminate in the submission of your creative research as a public presentation of new work/thesis or process report in the form that best articulates and reflects your work and ideas (with no oral defense).
