Fine Arts

Programmes in Fine Arts

To be an artist is to be burdened and blessed with the “freedom of no choice!” The need to express oneself through art is as essential to the visual artist as food and water. That need only deepens with the passage of time. Art is continually being redefined. Warnborough recognises that much of the work defined as “art” in the history of art, is comprised of crafts and minor arts. Hence, the Warnborough studio art program welcomes artisans as well as fine artists into its graduate programs. Warnborough also recognizes Photography as a fine arts form. Any reference to “fine arts” is meant to include photography.

The graduate programs in Fine Arts are designed for learners who intend to develop professional careers in photography, fine arts, crafts, the minor arts or in arts related fields. Three graduate degree programs are offered by Warnborough College Ireland. These include the M.A.F.A in Fine Arts (in Studio Arts or Photography), the M.F.A. (Master of Fine Arts) in Studio Art or Photography, and the PhD in Fine Arts, in Studio Arts or Photography.

The Master of Arts in Fine Arts is comprised of compulsory modules, elective modules, a Master's Project or Exhibit, and a Written Component or Master's Thesis.
