You will follow the first phase of the programme, the Fine Art and Design in Education accelerated part-time route, in Arnhem. Classes take place on Tuesdays and Fridays from 09:15 to 16:30.
The second phase, the Master Education in Arts, takes place in Zwolle and has one fixed teaching day per week, on Monday. This day consists of 6 to 10 contact hours. In addition to these, you will need approximately 10 to 14 hours of self-study per week. The actual workload may vary per person and per period.
The programme also includes three excursions: in year one, a three-day excursion abroad; in year two, a two-day excursion within the Netherlands; and in the third year, a five-day excursion abroad.
Who follows this combined route?
Because this is a part-time programme, many students combine this pathway with a job and family life. It is designed for students who want to obtain both a master’s degree and a full teaching qualification. The accelerated route is intended for:
Autonomous visual artists and designers who have completed a higher professional (hbo) arts degree in Fine Art or Design.
The accelerated trajectory is ideal for ambitious students with an open and inquisitive attitude, oriented towards innovation. In the final year and a half, during the Master Education in Arts, you will engage in intensive dialogue with fellow students and with yourself. Through a continuous process of making, doing and researching, you determine your position. Step by step, with increasing clarity, you articulate why you stand where you stand and why you do what you do.
If you encounter challenges along the way: during the Fine Art and Design in Education accelerated part-time phase, you will have a study counsellor, and during the Master Education in Arts, you will have a personal tutor who supports you whenever needed — both in terms of content and process.
During the first phase of the programme (Fine Art and Design in Education accelerated part-time), you will complete internships within the field of education. You will learn how to work with different target groups and how to teach in a variety of contexts. These school-based internships can take place in primary education, secondary education or vocational education (mbo). The internships are part of the curriculum and are scheduled on the regular class days, Tuesday and Friday. They are arranged through the programme’s placement office.
In the second phase of the programme (the Master Education in Arts), you will participate in various projects. These projects count as out-of-school internships. You will gain practical experience outside the school context, working together with external partners.
Both the Fine Art and Design in Education accelerated part-time programme and the Master Education in Arts have extensive professional networks and can support you in finding a suitable placement.
