Summary
The MFA Communication programme interrogates the fundamental ways in which communication shapes our lives, and uses this knowledge to develop new ways of experiencing, interacting and communicating with the world. The programme makes space for conversation, inter-cultural exchange, new ideas and diverse voices. You will explore social, political, environmental and philosophical implications of communication practices and how these may be manifested within the your chosen field of practice.
When you enter the programme you may have an existing practice in creative disciplines such as Visual Communication, Illustration, Animation, Film and Television, Digital Direction, Extended Reality, User Interface Design, Information Experience Design, or Sound Design. You will be encouraged to take a critical approach to your discipline, as the programme invites you to locate your existing practice in interdisciplinary contexts, and to innovate in ways that challenge disciplinary boundaries.
The programme also provides opportunities to extend professional networks and to locate your professional work in the context of your study, through the option of industry-embedded and Research Project units, where you carry out projects embedded in industry, supported by tutors at RCA.
Teaching will include burst teaching and hybrid delivery, within the School of Communication and across the RCA's Battersea and Kensington campuses where students are encouraged to choose electives from other Schools. Students are encouraged to consider themselves part of an multi-disciplinary network of students spread across the RCA's Schools and the programme will stress the importance of opportunities to network and collaborate with peers on different programmes.
