Course Overview
Programme Aims and Objectives
The Master of Fine Arts in Creative Media (MFACM) programme is the first of its kind in Hong Kong. The MFACM is a degree with a long history in many prestigious European and North American universities and is commonly regarded as the highest level of academic qualification available in the creative arts. While the MFACM once was primarily associated with the traditional fine arts, such as music and painting, it has since the 1960s become the standard “terminal” degree in programmes specializing in more technology-intensive creative fields, including computer-based media production.
What You’ll Learn
Course Description
MFACM is designed as an intensive, project-based programme. The programme consists of 54 credit units, and will be offered in a full-time mode over two years. The curriculum includes 24 credit units of required courses and 30 credit units of elective courses. Out of the 24 credit units of required courses, a total of 18 credit units are dedicated to project-based studio classes. Assessment in all classes normally will be entirely through coursework, which will consist primarily of practical and creative projects.
This programme aims to produce future leaders in creative industries and nourish a new generation of artists who are well-versed in both the technology and aesthetics of new media production. It is committed to training creative producers who are prepared and adaptable to the rapidly changing landscape of media production and creative environment by providing 1) solid training in cutting-edge technology, 2) an in-depth understanding of contemporary issues in media art, and 3) a trans-disciplinary and international learning environment. Creativity, innovation, adaptability, and diversity form the core values and visions of the programme. The curriculum focuses on strengthening students’ creative careers by helping them to develop and sharpen their expressive voices while keeping them up-to-date with the practices in the professional creative environment.
The Programme is structured around three paths: MFACM Main (Without Stream Specification), Games and Human-Computer Interaction. MFACM students will choose not to have a stream, or to join one of the two streams.
1. Games Stream
2. Human-Computer Interaction Stream
