MFA in medium and material-based art

This master programme brings together four specialization areas: Print/Ceramics/Metal and Jewellery/Textile. The programme is structured to stimulate collaboration and innovation across specialization areas. Our main focus is the development of each student’s individual art practice. The students are assigned a main tutor and allocated a workspace at one of the four areas of specialization. Teaching and learning methods include individual tutorials, hands-on workshops, lectures and seminars, group critiques, and student led study groups. Exhibition Practice and Writing Practice are integrated components of the MFA programme. As part of the master studies students gain insight into the methods and practice of artistic research and development. The learning environment is international, and the studies accommodate English speaking students. The master programme is a two-year, fulltime course.
