Research, experimentation and collaboration form the core of the Master's programme in Art Education. You will work from your own questions and practice, in constant interaction with theory, social context and artistic forms of reflection.
You will learn to work with Arts-Based Research: a form of practice-oriented research in which art itself is the means to ask questions, explore insights and develop new perspectives. You will conduct your research through images, performances, installations, text, sound or movement. Your own work practice will be the starting point. You will formulate your research question, choose an appropriate working method and develop an investigative attitude.
In the second period, you will carry out a site-specific research project together with an external partner and a small team of fellow students. This project will take place outside your own workplace, in a new and unfamiliar environment. You will work on a social issue that lends itself to artistic and educational research, with a focus on collaboration and positioning.
Throughout the programme, you will work on concrete, practice-oriented projects, either individually or in groups. You will develop plans, implement them and reflect on your choices and working methods. You will also learn how to set up and supervise a cultural project, from writing a project plan to implementation. Theory, practice and research are seamlessly integrated into all phases of the programme.
