tugbamina_871 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone had insight into the Oxford MFA program. I think someone wrote last year that they applied and were accepted. (@Tynniffer?) Is it career suicide to go (funding concerns aside) to the UK and later seek a teaching job in the US market or a place in the art scene in a major US city? Sorry for the careerism, but I just wanted to see if anyone had thoughts on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tynnifer Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Hi! Yes I got in last year but the funding wasn't very good. They offered to put me on the waiting list for funding (for which they said best case scenario 5000 pounds). I got very good funding at the university of Guelph (I'm Canadian) and was really impressed with my visit there so that was my choice. I'm happy I chose it. Just finished my first semester! A main issue with the Oxford program was it's length (only 9 months which I can't even fathom). I'd encourage you to apply and hope for funding but make sure you've applied to other schools that vary in length and price. I hope that helps! I believe there were other people here who got in so you can check in with them about their experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
