Degree project/Independent project
Artistic work with a focus on artistic investigative development (45 ECTS) including a text that reflects one’s own artistic method and work.
Examination formats
The education in Fine Arts at the Master’s level is project-oriented in its structure, which is why the examinations take place continually during the supervision of the student’s artistic work and participation in workshops, seminars, etc.
The graduation exam takes place in the fourth term and consists of:
The oral and written presentations are to contain an analysis of the work’s background and context and a discussion of the method, application and references of the work within and outside the work’s field. The exam work is presented for the student group, supervisor, instructor and external examiner, who evaluates the work. In the evaluation, emphasis is placed on the effort and results, the knowledge and skills, its independence, insight and critical reflection, and the presentation as a whole.
Compared with the exam work at the Bachelor level, the Master’s exam work must also show a significant level of specialisation and independence.
Eligibility requirements
A successfully completed Bachelor’s degree (3 year program) in Fine Arts or its equivalent. Artistic skills as judged through documentation of investigative artistic development. The application consists of documentation of artistic investigative development work.
Jury
A jury selects from the pool of qualified applicants. After an initial selection process that uses documentation of artistic work, (12 pictures or equivalent and a project plan for the first and second terms that demonstrates the applicant’s artistic ambitions) a group of applicants will be called to take part in interviews and approximately 7 of these students will be accepted. Applicants from the EU and outside the EU are interviewed over the phone.

The internationally positioned MA in Fine Arts at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) is aimed at opening up, promoting and strengthening the diverse range of individual or collaborative routes of access to artistic and (trans)media practice in a common, highly dense space (space of experimentation, space of discourse, space of different actions etc). Students on the course are encouraged to explore different artistic /aesthetic strategies and methods such practice involves.
The MA in Fine Arts brings together artists, media authors, theorists and curators. The course centres on furthering students’ artistic development, on imparting the knowledge, capabilities and skills required to this end. The goal is to train individuals able to implement their authorship at a high aesthetic and technical level while gaining increasing awareness of other artistic practices as well as of prevailing social conditions. On completing their degrees, graduates will be in a position to play an active and influential role in what is referred to as the art system and equally in the multifarious fields of arts and culture-related fields of work.
In an age of overlapping skills and of interaction among the various disciplines, the students are offered a uniquely open space in which to produce and experiment, to pursue their own thoughts and discussions. Artistic and theoretical experimentation with ideas, questions and concepts, with materialities and media, as well as the possibility of networked production are fundamental components of the MA in Fine Arts offered by the ZHdK.
The MA in Fine Arts as system of concentrated spaces of experimentation furnishes a setting for learning and teaching that combines artistic and theoretical work with discursive, critical practice. The resultant atmosphere of productive, networked creativity is generated and supported by teachers and students alike.
Two special modalities of the MA in Fine Arts at ZHdK are the possibility to submit group applications and to be able to enter the program with a BA degree independent of its disciplinary background. We also reserve four places in the program for applicants proposing either a concrete artistic or theoretical research project that they want to pursue during their time at ZHdK.
Konstfack’s MFA program has taken a leadership role in pioneering graduate education with a unique character. Through exploratory, cross-disciplinary workshops in art, craft and design, this is a program that prepares students for both research and professional careers, while providing them with the methodologies for critical thinking that will enable them to evaluate their own creative practice, and place it within a meaningful and relevant critical and historical context.
The Master’s program offers eight different disciplines called Master’s Groups:
• Art in the Public Realm
• Ceramics and Glass
• Experience Design
• Formgiving Intelligence
• InSpace
• Jewellery + Corpus
• Storytelling
• Textile in the Expanded Field
Konstfack, the largest university college of arts, crafts and design in Sweden, was established in 1844.
Final date for applications: March 1, 2010
Final date for portfolios: March 10, 2010

Call for applications for PhD in Practice Program
Application period: February 1 - March 1, 2010
The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna is launching a doctoral program for research in artistic practice. The new PhD in Practice program is intended to give participants an opportunity to realize their individual research projects in a cooperative environment with a decidedly transdisciplinary and international bent. In societies increasingly based on economies of “knowledge,” it is crucial for contemporary visual artists to discuss and transform their own respective positions as producers, agents, designers, archivists, and conveyors of “knowledge.” The PhD in Practice program of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna is coordinated by Tom Holert, Silvia Kolbowski, and Johanna Schaffer. It focuses on the consequences of the shifting social status of art and artists by allowing artists in knowledge-based societies to engage in research into these issues. A deliberate emphasis on the epistemological and methodological foundations of the fine arts, its practitioners, and its audiences is a distinguishing feature of the PhD in Practice program.

The Finnish Academy of Fine Arts admits new students to postgraduate studies leading to a Doctorate in Fine Arts
Application period: 1 December 2009 to 1 March 2010.
Application form and instructions for applying can be obtained from the Academy’s website
www.kuva.fi/portal/english/applying/doctoral_studies_2010/
or from the Academy’s information desk in Kaikukatu 4, Helsinki.
The admission results will be announced on 1 June 2010. The studies will commence in September 2010.
The Finnish Academy of Fine Arts has an internationally acclaimed Department of Postgraduate Studies, with pioneering work in artistic research and postgraduate studies. The degree of a Doctorate in Fine Arts was established in 1997. Postgraduate studies in the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts are based on artistic research where high-quality artistic work intertwines with theoretical research. Doctoral students are experts in their own field, internationally renowned visual artists who apply research methods to their work.
The aim of the postgraduate studies is to give the students a profound understanding of their own field and the ability to produce high-quality artistic work that demonstrates their artistic maturity as well as to engage the students in independent, innovative artistic research in the field of their choice. The primary results of artistic research are artistic productions presented publicly. As another important result of their research, postgraduate students produce reflective and theoretical information about their own art works, the process of making and presenting them.
The students admitted to this programme, leading to a Doctorate in Fine Arts, are required to complete the postgraduate studies and successfully defend their dissertation in public. The extent of the degree is 240 credits (ECTS).
Further information on postgraduate research at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts can be found at www.kuva.fi/portal/english/applying/doctoral_studies_2010/ and in The Artist’s Knowledge 2, a recent publication of the Department.
