Upon completion of the course, students shall be able to:

  • use acquired knowledge to develop an individual language and expression
  • critically reflect upon their artistic practice and situate their project in a historical and/or contemporary context (verbally and in writing)

  • demonstrate insight and understanding in regard to how the art world functions
  • communicate their own work using concepts and terminology relevant to their artistic specialisation

Study requirements for the course are as follows:

  • Active participation
  • Completed work assignments, submission of written papers and/or presentations

Assessment

The study requirements for the course have to be approved in order for the student to receive the final assessment.

The student’s work and progress is assessed throughout each semester. A formal assessment takes place at the end of each semester.

At the semester assessment each student presents their work to an assessment committee comprised of their main tutor and another member of the teaching staff. A brief report is delivered to the committee in advance of the student’s presentation. The presentation can include artworks, digital documentation and texts. The assessment committee reviews the student’s practice and progress together with the student.

Marks given are Pass or Fail.

A pass of each semester assessment is a requirement for continuation in the programme.
