Master's Programme in Fine Art - Subject Structure

In August 2022 a new subject structure was implemented for the Master's Programme in Fine Art at the KMD. The new subject structure sees a continuation of the subject content from the previous structure, but clarifies what we expect from the students each semester, as well as showing the different competencies the students will gain from the programme.

Main content

The Master's Programme in Fine Art is a two-year programme amounting to 120 ECTS credits. Students must complete subjects amounting 30 ECTS credits each semester in a normal study progression.

(Please note: The subject descriptions may be published in english on the norwegian webpage)

          The workshop access courses, health and safety (EHS) are required in order to get access to the different workshops. Please note that some workshop access courses require previously acquired technical experience/competence to gain access. Required experience/competence will be described in the course content linked from each workshop access course below. Contact the workshop technician regarding prior experience/education that could gain you access to a workshop.

          Access to workshops and equipment: The workshop access courses, health and safety (EHS) needed for teaching in subjects are often a part of the teaching in the PRO subjects. Please read the subject descriptions for more information about this. In addition to this students will have the opportunity to complete workshop access courses needed for their own art practice. You may register for additional access course by signing up directly in Studentweb.
