About

The MFA Digital Arts programme at the University of Malta is a practice-oriented, postgraduate award in digital art practice and theory. It is an umbrella programme that seeks to develop a learning environment in which historical traditions and new practices confront and influence each other within a contextual, cultural and theoretical framework.

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.
