The MA programmes at the FHNW Academy of Art and Design set out from a defined artistic position and design-related experience, respectively, on the part of the student.
In the course of their MA studies students broaden and deepen their knowledge in art and design, respectively, and extend and contextualize their methodological skills so that, upon attaining their degree, they meet the qualifications of contemporary research practice and reflection.
The programme moves between experiment, research, theory and critical self-reflection. The teachers support the students in their project work and provide insight into the complex system of production and reception in contemporary art and design. In a professional environment and within a deliberately undefined framework, the students learn to translate ideas into aesthetic formulations independently.
The MA course normally takes two years and is completed with a Master of Arts degree.
