Master of Visual Art

Two-year course (120 credits)

The master’s programme is an interdisciplinary course offering the chance to specialise in metal art and jewellery, ceramic art, graphic art or textile art, and forms of expression spanning these art forms. The course qualifies students for artistic work at international level.

The course comprises three core elements:

• the student’s individual project, practical work and development (72 credits).
• theory (30 credits).
• communication and establishment (18 credits).
  

The theoretical element is linked to practical work within the areas covered by the course, and addresses relevant topics and general problem areas within contemporary art and the various art forms represented in the Faculty, as well as being tailored to the students’ individual projects. The thesis is worth 60 credits.

Students planning projects of an interdisciplinary nature, or students wishing to specialise in one of the fields covered will be assigned a thesis supervisor with relevant competence.

Admission
The master’s course builds on a 3-year bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification from another approved institution.

Admission is by means of written application to the Faculty. The application must be accompanied by a portfolio and an outline of the proposed area of work for the master’s project. The applicant’s artistic output and relevant professional work will be crucial to the outcome of the application, but importance will also be attached to the applicant’s ability to delineate a topic and problem area. Interviews will also be conducted.

The closing date for applications is February the 1st each year.
