The Master of Arts in Fine Art and Design (iRAP) programme focuses on interrelational artistic practices within social contexts. It encourages students to bring their own artistic practices and social issues into the programme. In a world often driven by quick results and external demands, this programme emphasizes the human scale, an open artistic attitude, and a critical, open-ended approach to working. Students will explore the meaning, value, methods, and potential of interrelational artistic practices in non-artistic settings, developing methodologies that are process-oriented rather than solely focused on final outputs. The aim is to create practices that are deeply embedded within and critically engage with their context, offering new possibilities for life and interaction.
Curriculum
The Master of Arts in Fine Art and Design (iRAP) is a two-year, 120 ECTS programme structured to develop your artistic practice through a combination of studio work, collaborative projects, discursive contexts, and presentation skills. Each year consists of 60 ECTS.
