Validated by City University London
This is a two-year programme to obtain a Master of Fine Arts or Master of Innovation. Instead of leaving with a Master of Arts under specific circumstances, for example academic merit, you can continue into a second year and gain a Master of Fine Arts or a Master of Innovation. This will allow you to enjoy a further period of postgraduate study in which to research, experiment and innovate. It is expected that this extended period of creative practice and realisation will offer more rounded solutions than can be the case for an MA project. In keeping with the multi-disciplinary and collaborative nature of the programme, you will be encouraged to form internal and external partnerships to assist the realisation of your project and maximise its potential.
The Master of Innovation is aimed primarily at those who wish to combine the professional realisation of the project with the practical incubation of its enterprise potential or the commercialisation of its intellectual property.
If you pursue this pathway you will be expected to develop and deliver tangible evidence to support the viability of your strategies and plans to develop and realise the market potential of your practical work.
The Master of Fine Arts is aimed primarily at those of you who wish to concentrate solely on the professional realisation of your creative practice or to generate new creative thinking or learning from the extended period of advanced creative practice afforded by the course. If you pursue this pathway you will be expected to develop and deliver tangible evidence to support the success of your approach in terms of the realisation of your project or its contribution to the generation of new perspectives, methodologies or learning.
Depending on the option chosen, you will benefit from additional units strengthening your understanding of the entrepreneurial and business aspects of innovation or undertake an independent research project on an area closely associated with your practical work.

All students are required to own or have access to a laptop from the beginning of their studies. Laptops are an essential tool to support personalised learning and give you access, when and where you want it, to many of the creative tools and educational resources you will encounter during your studies.
Laptops are used extensively in all of our courses. You will need one to access our network, and to research, communicate and collaborate during your studies.
