While our focus is on Malaysia and Southeast Asia, the perspective is nevertheless global in character. Moreover, the study of art and visual culture from a historical perspective engages with many other areas of study, including History, Religion, Literature, Politics, Geography, Anthropology, Architecture, Design, Philosophy, Performance, Film and Area/Cultural Studies.?

Whether one is thinking of a career in the growing museum and gallery industry, or starting an independent artist?s run space, or pursuing a life-long dream of independent research and learning, the Master of Arts (Visual Arts) programme aims to offer a stimulating environment that fosters independent and critical thinking through the study and research of art history and visual culture.?
