Content

Graduation Work 
At the end of the study year a summative assessment is conducted based on an exhibition of the student’s work, in conjunction with the thesis and the verbal elucidation of the work. The student should demonstrate a coherent, visual production and the capacity to display this in a carefully considered presentation. In the work and presentation, the student reveals the foundations of an artistic system and reflective capabilities. 
 
The instructional modes are individual and intervisional. Active attendance and participation are mandatory to receive a total of 5EC, which include Presentation and Work/Project Review.
