MFA Heritage and Exhibition Design

The MFA Heritage and Exhibition Design will develop your understanding of core aspects of heritage, exhibition, and museum design, as well as site-specific interpretive installations in Scotland’s vibrant and extensive heritage sector. Part of a community of practice, this course benefits from bringing together designers from a range of disciplines into core modules, as well as modules specific to your chosen pathway such as 'Interpretation & Design' and Design for Heritage & Culture'. All students complete the Art Direction module which is output through a collaborative public exhibition as part of the university’s annual degree show.

You will study Creative Research Portfolio Part 1 which will help you to determine and start the ground work to prepare for your Major Project (MFA) topic. The MFA is recognised as an advanced masters level degree and students already holding an appropriate MA can apply to enter the programme directly into the second year of study.
