Graduate facilities
Our private MFA studios give you the freedom to create
You'll be able to bring creative concepts to life in your own studio
As an MFA, you'll have 24/7 access to your own studio space
Fill your MFA studio with whatever is specific to your practice
Our MFA studios are in a separate wing from our regular classrooms, ensuring quiet and privacy
Looking for a program that offers 24/7 access to your own private studio in a purpose-built space? We've got you covered.
With off-campus studio space an expensive premium most students can't afford — especially here in Victoria — we recognize the value and importance of providing our graduate students with their own private, secure studios.
You'll have seven-day-a-week, 24-hour access to your own dedicated studio in our grad student wing, separate from the undergrad and teaching studios.
These studios give you the freedom to create, undo, and remake in privacy, while knowing you also have the support of fellow grad students right next door. We also offer a communal kitchen space nearby to fuel your late-night sessions.
