About the Masters of Fine Arts

MFA Cultural Leadership

This course challenges you to question and debate the role of the cultural sector in our society and your own place within it. It is designed specifically for those who already have active roles in the cultural sector who aspire to facilitate resilient, new leadership models. Our cohorts reflect the diversity and intersectionality of lived experience in Australia and course content draws on a wide range of knowledge domains, research, case studies and leadership practices.

MFA Directing

NIDA’s immersive directing course enables talented, early-career practitioners to master the directing process. Students are guided to create and express an artistic vision for the future of the arts and entertainment industries and connect with contemporary audiences through their work.

MFA Dramatic Writing

The Master of Fine Arts Dramatic Writing is an industry-focused course designed to support and accelerate the careers of new writers telling compelling stories across stage and screen. Students undergo a rigorous exploration of the building blocks of dramatic craft applied across theatre, film, television, and interactive and immersive writing.

Applications are now open for the Master of Fine Arts programs for 2025.
