Creating new worlds through storytelling and conversation.

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.

What you'll study:

The teaching will be delivered by a combination of core and elective areas of study, which will include an extended independent research project, and may also include work-based learning such as placements or action research projects.

How you'll learn

The MFA Communication programme will be delivered using burst-teaching and hybrid delivery. Burst teaching takes place on campus, and provides you with opportunities to form a community of peers and develop a sense of belonging at RCA. Outside of these periods, online group and individual tutorials will support your’ learning and ensure that you have regular remote contact.

Programme structure (full time)

Terms 1 and 2 will include common Communication units within the School of Communication, alongside electives that may be chosen from any of the College’s Schools. In the common units you will come together with other Communication students to collaborate on projects addressing the UN’s Sustainable development Goals. Alongside the common units, your choice of electives will provide opportunities to personalise your journey, and broaden your horizons by exploring subjects beyond the School and critically reflecting on their relationships to your own discipline. In term 3, you will apply what you have learnt in a substantial Research Project, where you will also be supported to independently disseminate and position your work in public contexts.

By choosing electives, you will be able to determine your own journey through the programme. You will graduate with a unique set of experiences and expertise, enabling you to locate yourself at the forefront of new and emerging industries, and to contribute to leading and shaping new industries as they emerge. You will be given the tools to become a pioneer in emerging sectors, applying your skills at the intersection of disciplines and with multi-disciplinary teams. You will also be supported to identify and pursue opportunities for public output during and beyond your programme of study.

Programme structure (part-time)

The part-time programme is delivered at a rate of two units per term, across two years.

Terms 1 and 2 include common Communication and elective units within the School of Communication. In the common units you will come together with other Communication students to collaborate on projects addressing the UN’s Sustainable development Goals. Meanwhile, a choice of School electives will allow you to deepen your engagement with a chosen practice within Communication. During term 3, part-time students engage in professionally-oriented units including an industry-based project with the option to embed this project in your current place of employment, recognising that many part-time students will be currently employed in relevant industries.

In the second year of study, you will study two electives from across the RCA. Your choice of electives will provide opportunities to personalise your journey, and broaden your horizons by exploring subjects beyond the School and critically reflecting on their relationships to your own discipline. Meanwhile, you will propose, develop, and realise a Research Project, which is spread across the second year of study in order to structure your journey towards your final project.
