MA Fine Art & Design and MA Animation

“How can we create a future that is something else, another kind of world, one that we would like to live in?” This question lies at the heart of our master programmes. Our highly ambitious and versatile institution is currently in a stage of development and growth. The expanded pedagogical scope of the Master Institute of Visual Cultures programmes has created new opportunities for interdisciplinarity and co-research across our master pathways. Our motivated team, strengthened by the Professors of Expertise Center Caradt, is committed to supporting ambitious and diverse context specific creative research practices and approaches.

Master Programmes Animation and Fine Art & Design
Next to our Master programme Animation, we offer three different pathways within our Master programme Fine Art & Design: Ecology Futures, Situated Design and Visual Arts and Post-Contemporary Practice. Check out more information on our Master programmes.
