The MFA Communication at the RCA addresses the complexities, pluralities and challenges of contemporary communication through a practice led, interdisciplinary approach that explores communication as a radical and experimental creative practice. You will engage in critical and creative experimentation within a studio based culture of making, collaborating with a global cohort drawn from diverse creative, cultural and philosophical backgrounds. By combining theory and practice with a strong ethos of professional collaboration with external partners such as Save the Children, Friends of the Earth and Foster + Partners, the programme enables you to transform and redefine your professional communication practice, culminating in an independent research project that pushes the boundaries of what communication can be.
