Be the Future of Something Else - Master of Arts in Fine Art & Design

Join our unique 2-year master program in Fine Art and Design with three different pathways: Ecology Futures, Situated Design or Visual Arts and Post-Contemporary Practice.

 

“How can we create a future that is something else, another kind of world, one that we would like to live in?”

 

This question lies at the heart of our master programs. We empower students to become the new generation of artists and designers who will contribute in unconventional ways to changing the complex and interconnected world we live in.

 

Discover our 3 Master Programs in Fine Art & Design

We offer 3 different pathways within our Master program Fine Art & Design:

 

1) Ecology Futures | Enhance your ecological impact as an artist

We live in a time of ecological catastrophes, in which the realities of environmental collapse are starting to reveal their impact on society. Artists and designers have a major task to identify, critique and design the narrative around ecological degradation. This is where Ecology Futures comes into play.

2) Situated Design | Design after the situated turn

During this two-year Master programme, students from various disciplines learn how to provide meaning to the world outside of the studio. In an interdisciplinary learning environment, students will explore how to take environmental, social, cultural and political factors as the basis for design processes.

3) Visual Arts & Post Contemporary Practice | Redefine your practice and rol in relation to society

During this two-year Master programme, students from various disciplines develop practice-led and process orientated artistic research that is supported by research-led teaching. In an interdisciplinary learning environment, students have the opportunity to develop independent and collaborative research projects. Through a theoretically informed, critical and reflexive approach, students develop and evaluate their practice in a peer-to-peer context.
