MFA, Sat Nov 01 05:48:12 MET 2025 | M2

At the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art as part of NTNU, we focus on critical artistic research and collaborative forms of artistic entrepreneurship as an extension of studio practice, and as an undertaking of acting together to inspire people to tackle the challenges society faces. We are searching for students who strive to push the boundaries of art and who try to understand what it means to be in this world and respond to today’s urgencies and inequalities with the means of art. We argue for an artistic agency that involves and engages new combinations of disciplines and new forms of cooperation among researchers, artists, ideas and technologies. 

What will you learn?

What will you learn?

In a versatile learning environment, students and faculty at KIT collectively set out to revisit and rethink the role of art in society. As we engage in a wide range of learning activities including supervision, group interaction, workshops, courses in theory and practice, as well as student-led initiatives and work placement, we seek to find concrete and responsive methods that oscillate between individual artistic approaches and collective needs.
