<h2>C:Art Master's Programme (120 ECTS)</h2>
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. <br>

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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
