    C:Art Master's Programme (120 ECTS)

An international two-year masters program in fine art, C : Art 
integrates studio practice with research and exploration of artistic 
methods. Students are able to develop their practises through a series 
of artistic investigations into other disciplines made possible by the 
exceptional resources of the University of Gothenburg and harbor site of 
Sweden's second largest city. Offering seminars, guest lectures, weekly 
practical labs, study trips abroad, and individual studio visits with 
international arts professionals, C : Art is a comprehensive and 
customized education for the active twenty - first century artist.

In accordance with the Bologna mandate, C : Art follows an eight-module, 
five-week academic year. Each module is thematic, designed to meet our 
goal of graduating students with broad-based field literacy, each 
advanced on the path of personal fluency in their practice.

The two-year program culminates in a guest-curated, graduating 
exhibition presented in Gothenburg, accompanied by an illustrated 
publication, including curator's essay and student texts. Studios are 
provided.

Teaching language: English.
