Overview
The Digital Arts programme at the University of Malta seeks to offer a comprehensive approach to image-making that not only encourages innovation by students through a practice-based research methodology, but also endeavours to provide the same students with the creative, artistic, intellectual and theoretical foundation upon which they can build their contributions to this dynamic field.
The theoretical input fosters an analytical and creative exploration of established and emerging forms of visual art, moving image and visual communication practices and their relevant areas of specialisation, while the practical modules include the application of essential techniques for contemporary creative practice within a variety of digital media. The programme is taught through a mixture of lectures, studio workshops, tutorials, student-led seminars and group presentations.

As a holder of the MFA in Digital Arts, you will be able to enter a career, locally and abroad, as a studio artist, art leadership/ministries/lecturer, illustrator, museum or gallery curator/manager, studio potter, photographer, studio art technician and as an art director.
