New degrees for 2023 entry
The RCA’s new MArch, MFA, MDes and MEd qualifications offer students the chance to develop new skills and improve career prospects, whilst pursuing their professional passions and developing further specialisations in their field. Full- and part-time options are available.

These qualifications would most benefit those with professional experience or students who have completed initial postgraduate study and now want to deepen their expertise, although applications for some qualifications will be open to those coming straight from undergraduate study.
- Arts & Humanities MFA
- Communication MFA
- Creative Education MEd
- Design Futures MDes
- Design Practice MArch
- Master of Research MRes
Each programme will provide you with the opportunity to extend professional networks and to locate your professional work in the context of your study. Teaching will be delivered by a combination of core and elective areas of study, which will include an extended research project, and may also include work-based learning such as placements or action research projects.
Students of these new qualifications are encouraged to consider themselves part of an interdisciplinary network of students spread across the RCA's Schools and programmes will stress the importance of opportunities to network and collaborate with peers in different areas.
Full and part time study routes are on offer with more flexible delivery methods such as burst mode study.
