Master of Arts [M.A] [Artistic Research] From Royal Academy of Art, The Hague

Successful applicants will enter the programme with an existing practice, and a stated artistic research plan.

Your creative work will form the core of your study. We will help you explore your research plans, understand new concepts, inputs, and methods, and open up the ways your artistic products come into being. You will develop a heightened ability to engage with artistic complexity, and you will graduate with an enriched understanding of what you do, and an increased ability to further develop and maintain an autonomous researching practice.

The Master Artistic Research provides an artistic education, and most of our graduates go on to be practicing artists. A number have won prizes in their respective fields, or gone on to receive commissions, residencies, and other opportunities to further their research. Our program also offers interested students a sound basis from which to go on to study for a practice based PhD, and to participate in post-academic research institutes. After some time in the field, some alumni have also become tutors in art schools themselves.
