The Master of Arts in Arts Administration (MA) graduate degree programme is a module- based master’s research degree at 180 credits for those interested in extended research in various area of the arts Administration.  It is intended as a distinct award for those either not wishing to undertake or not yet ready for doctoral study but with an interest in sustained and in-depth study. Research should be of a standard above that of the BA but not at that of doctorate.

Because of the diversity of research topics possible, the MPhil programme at Victoria College does not involve a core taught component. There are required elements as part of the course but in general students will be working primarily with their individual supervisor following a bespoke pathway.
