A FULL-TIME MA DEGREE WITH STUDENT BURSARIES
OCTOBER 2003 ENTRY
Applications are invited for the MA in 'RENAISSANCE DECORATIVE ARTS
AND CULTURE, 1400-1650', a specialism within the V&A/RCA MA programme
in the History of Design. The course is run jointly by the Victoria &
Albert Museum and the Royal College of Art, and offers a unique
opportunity to pursue postgraduate study in the context of the one of

The MA degree is a two-year course. In the first year, students take

the academic programme, students also undertake a work-experience
placement in the V&A, either in a curatorial department, or in one of
the Museum's major Gallery and Exhibition projects.
