Art & Science is a four-semester, English-language master’s
programme that takes an inter- and trans-disciplinary approach to fields of study drawn from the arts and sciences. As a result,
it is suitable for students who have completed artistic or non-artistic studies, who have an active curiosity and a willingness
to experiment, and seek to expand their skills through trans-disciplinarity.
Central to the programme’s
approach is the appropriation of different academic discourses – aesthetic, scientific, economic or technological – that provide
a critical understanding of social developments and are useful for the students’ own projects. A central element of the Master’s
programme are the annual cooperations with partner institutions. The students develop works in relation to the thematic concerns
of the partner institutions, while being free to choose the formats and artistic methods that best suit their project.
The
great openness of the programme and the breadth of issues it addresses reflect a transforming world whose social challenges
clearly cannot be regulated and solved by specialists of a single field, but by people who think and work in an interdisciplinary
way.
