About
About the course
Course content
In the third year the artistic practice is contextualised and leads to public artistic encounter. The students plan, program and carry out the encounter in close collaboration with an internal or external coordinator. Each student presents their bachelor's project (solo or in collaboration with fellow students), which has been developed and realised during the third year in dialogue with supervisors and peers. Structured writing guidance during the Spring semester is part of the bachelor's experience, and will help the student clarify and communicate their artistic practice in relation to context.
Learning outcome
Upon completion of the course the student will demonstrate the ability to:
- realise and complete a contemporary artistic exam project.
- write a critical reflection text that contextualises the artistic project or work, reflecting on the development of the artistic practice and the research involved.
- plan and carry out thoroughly an artistic process and project, integrating artistic research to evolve an idea into its final form
- produce and publicly show work that defines and contextualises the work examined.
- is familiar with methods of professional practice post graduation.
- has competencies that form the basis for admission to any MFA study program.

- Final Artistic Project and Public Presentation: The final cycle of each student’s studies culminates in a public presentation of their work. Accordingly, the BFA candidate presents a coherent body of independent or collaborative artistic work that reflects their practice and learning trajectory. In cases where the work is site-specific or time-based, the student is expected to take into account the setting, technical realization, and communication of the work. The presentation should reflect a professional approach to planning and execution, demonstrating an understanding of how the chosen format interacts with its environment and audience.
- Oral presentation of finished and exhibited BFA project and examination assessment of process and project with examiner and external censor. The oral presentation serves as adjusting oral assessment.
Postponed or new exam will take place in the next exam period. In the case of a retake, the entire course must be repeated.
