Program Description
Master of Fine Arts degrees allow you to study subjects such as filmmaking, theater, graphic design, dance and creative writing at master’s level. These degrees are available as either an MFA (Master of Fine Arts) or an MA (Master of Arts) qualification. MFA degrees differ mainly in offering a more practical learning style, while MA programs are more likely to focus on critical study of the theory of art.
During most Master of Fine Arts degrees, coursework is mainly of an applied or performing nature, with your final assessment bringing together what you have learned. The content and presentation of this will vary depending on your specialization – it could be an exhibition of photography, a dance performance or a completed short film, amongst other possibilities.
Teaching and learning are likely to span a range of methods, including practical workshops and group tasks, along with peer reviews of your fellow students’ work. Your university may also offer the opportunity to contribute work to public exhibitions and events as part of the course.
Courses are usually two or three years in length, but this varies between countries. In the UK, for example, most master’s degrees can be completed in just one year if you study full-time.

The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.
To avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
