Our Bachelor's programme in Fine Arts (BFA)
is divided into a number of pre-chosen courses in the areas
of own artistic work, contemporary theory and art history, writing,
artistic work in today's society and artistic processes and
research methods. The course in individual artistic work occupies
most of the study time. In this main course the students work
mainly individually but also in groups with their own artistic
work. These are reported and discussed individually in tutorials
but also in seminar form in the student group where each student
presents his or her work and actively participates in the other
students' presentations. Great demands are placed on the student to
plan together with the teachers the content, focus and working
method for one's his or her artistic work.
