Master of Arts - MA (PG)
Summary
The application deadline for this programme is the 31st March 2026
This practice-led, part time, modular programme for creative graduates will evolve your practice and enhance employability in a world-leading performing and production arts education environment.
As contemporary creative artists often work across and beyond the traditional boundaries of artistic disciplines, the focus will be on bespoke, individual learning. You will engage in critical inquiry to identify meaningful goals and develop essential knowledge, skills and attitudes for success in your artistic journey. Throughout the programme, you will have the opportunity to build a professional network and receive support to critically engage with your practice in order to transform your creative identity. It will also help you enhance your skills for freelance work, employment with creative agencies or further academic study, while expanding your professional network.
This is a flexible programme, where you’ll work alongside RCS lecturers and industry experts, as well as our network of national and international partners.
The MA is designed to integrate with your existing arts practice and includes a significant amount of student-led learning. It will be complemented by intensive residencies (either in-person or online) at the beginning and end of the programme, as well as online delivery, one-to-one support, and peer group learning.
This programme is subject to validation for Academic Year 2026-2027
| Level | SCQF Level 11 |

| Entry requirements | As the second cycle of higher education, postgraduate study represents a continuation of learning, training and/or experience rather than a beginning. As such, many of our applicants will have a degree qualification either in an arts subject, or in business or management. However, we recognise that traditional application processes, which show a bias towards prior learning and achievement, can perpetuate existing societal inequities, favouring those who already benefit. For this reason, we embrace the principles of widening access and participation and, whilst prior qualifications and experience may be taken into account, our application process places emphasis on students’ values, potential and readiness for Master’s level study. This is in accordance with the RCS Admissions Policy (including the Contextualised Admissions Policy). Accreditation of Prior and Experiential Learning (APEL): In some cases, applicants to the programme may already have achieved academic credit on another programme of study and are seeking to reduce the number of modules they will need to study on the programme. Applications for APEL will normally be decided prior to the applicant’s admission to the Royal Conservatoire. |
