The curriculum of this two-year master’s programme consists of six modules. Each module carries approximately 10 study credits (ECTS). The modules are organised into three periods, each focusing on specific themes and skill areas.
In the first period (modules 1 and 2), you will focus on your own position. Who are you as an artist and teacher, and how do these roles relate to each other? You will explore what drives you, what your work is about and how you want to take your place in the field of art education. You will be introduced to subjects such as cultural studies, critical pedagogy, educational philosophy and arts-based research. You will formulate your own personal research question and develop your initial plans.
In the second period (modules 3 and 4), you will work on a site-specific research project in an unfamiliar environment, outside your own work context. Together with fellow students and an external partner, you will research a social issue. You will learn how to collaborate across disciplines and perspectives. You will also follow a course on cultural project management, during which you will develop and carry out a project plan.
In the third period (modules 5 and 6), you will return to your own practice, where you will carry out an artistic-educational research project based on your earlier research question. This project will mark the completion of your master's programme – and the beginning of a new phase in your work. You will show how, through research and artistic thinking, you contribute to current issues within education and society.
