Transcript of 2013 Advanced Postgraduate Studies at Cardiff School of Art & Design
Postgraduate Certificate in Professional and Research Skills:Art & Design
The programme offers a comprehensive introduction to the range of methods,
strategies and debates that can apply to art and design professional practice
and research. It is built around the four key areas of: professional practice;
research methods; research design; and the criticality that is essential for the
generation of knowledge. The programme is ideal for artists and designers
who want to develop a research proposal or a professional intervention
project based on their practice.
The course runs annually from September to December. It is normally taught
on a Wednesday but can be taken via the University’s virtual learning
environment at any time in the academic year.
Practice-Based Masters and Professional Doctoratesfor Artists
Master of Fine Art (MFA)
This programme is designed to fit the requirements of contemporary
professional artists. The aim is to help students develop and strengthen their
existing practice within a critical academic context through a negotiated
programme of learning with the support of highly skilled staff and technicians.
Graduates of the MFA programme are well placed to continue to pursue a
career within the field of contemporary visual art.
Professional Doctorate: Art
The Professional Doctorate is a research degree programme, designed around
the concept of change agency, and is intended for professionals who wish to
make a step-change in the way their organization operates. The programme
is at the same level as a PhD, but it has a different objective. Whereas a PhD
makes a contribution to knowledge, the Professional Doctorate develops new
professional practice. As well as enabling professionals within organizations to
bring about change, the Professional Doctorate is also open to lone
practitioners who can contribute to professional practice through supervision
by a suitably qualified mentor.
The Professional Doctorate in Art is intended for professionals who wish to
create a step-change, for example, in the performance of art institutions, such
as museums, galleries and funding councils, or alternatively through art
practices as they intersect with or contribute to professional contexts, e.g.
benefits to a company from an artist-in-residence scheme can be the subject
of the study. Similarly, an artist’s own practice can be addressed through a
professional doctorate.
Practice-Based Masters and Professional Doctoratesfor Designers
Master of Design (MDes)
With emphasis on practice, the MDes is intended for those who have, and
wish to maintain, a career in any form of professional design practice. The
MDes provides an opportunity for advanced design study in the context of a
professional situation and to specialize in a particular area of design practice.
Typical career destinations include Professional Design Practice, Design
Enterprise, Design Management as well as careers in education and academia.
Master of Design (MDes) Samsung Art and Design Institute
The programme aims to cultivate, through practical projects, creative design
leaders with in-depth knowledge and strategic minds. Students are fostered
as talented individuals who will contribute to the design industry especially in
the areas of brand development, communication and user-centred design.
This can be addressed through product design, graphic communication,
architecture and fashion.
Professional Doctorate: Design
The Professional Doctorate is a research degree programme, designed around
the concept of change agency, and is intended for professionals who wish to
make a step-change in the way their organization operates. The programme is
at the same level as a PhD, but it has a different objective. Whereas a PhD
makes a contribution to knowledge, the Professional Doctorate develops new
professional practice. As well as enabling professionals within organizations to
bring about change, the Professional Doctorate is also open to lone
practitioners who can contribute to professional practice through supervision
by a suitably qualified mentor.
The Professional Doctorate in Design is intended for professionals who wish to
create a step-change in the performance of: design companies and
consultancies; design practices, as they intersect with or contribute to wider
professional or industrial contexts, e.g. through commissioner–client
relationships; or a designer’s own practice.
Professional Doctorate Ecological Building Practices
This award is intended for professionals who wish to create a step change in
the performance of: ecological and sustainable practice in the built and natural
environment professions, such as architecture, building and construction,
planning, development, engineering, surveying, biodiversity and ecology,
industrial production and manufacturing design; or other professions whose
work can or could relate specifically to an ecological or sustainable built and
natural environment.
Master of Arts (Cardiff School of Art & Design)

understanding of their field.
► reflect on the knowledge, skills and understanding that are needed in
order to further this body of work.
► familiarize themselves with a range of contemporary research positions
and become involved in debate and discussion at an advanced level.
Toward the end of the course, produce a high-level final exhibition of
professional practice that synthesizes the knowledge, skills and understanding
acquired on the programme.

Masters In Ceramics and in Advanced Product Design
MA Ceramics
The MA Ceramics programme is for individuals seeking to extend and develop
their practice as well as deepen their knowledge and understandings of the
subject, as future practitioners, researchers or academics.
The MA programme allows each student to:
► develop their authorship of advanced studio work
► be analytically rigorous
► develop a greater capacity for reflection
Students are encouraged to challenge norms and question conventions,
through fusing materiality and concept. This approach is underpinned by a
critical and historical approach discourse - a critical language for the both and
fine and applied art and design.
