Application to Bildkonstnär (YH), bildkonst 13-27.3.2024!

Goal

The Bachelor of Culture and Arts, Fine Arts programme is low-residency, which means that students can live anywhere in the world!

The programme’s most important and primary objective is to enable the students to develop their own expression. Expression has no technical constraints. Your own ideas, visions, and individual ethics must always lead and guide your way. The teacher’s role is to act as a guide and tutor. The class will get accustomed to giving and taking constructive criticism. An important aspect of the education is sharing and learning from other student’s knowledge and experiences.

The programme is carried out as low-residency, which means one week of contact studies will be held in Campus Allegro in Jakobstad/Pietarsaari in Finland every year (suspended during Corona-pandemic). It is mandatory to visit Finland at some time during the studies to strengthen one’s personal identity and get the original version(s) of previous degree certificate(s) checked.

The course meetings are combined with independent learning studio work. These are monitored via individual guidance by teachers and in feedback-presentations with groups of students.

In parallel with the actual practice of art, students study theoretical subjects that shed light on art and society from different perspectives.

Guest teachers are also in attendance for lectures, courses, and studio visits.

Degree Project

The bachelor’s thesis is comprised of 15 ECTS. It often acts as a link between studies and working life and provides students with an opportunity to apply theoretical models to practical problems. The thesis becomes a part of the student’s competence profile. It can consist of internal and/or external commissions, joint projects, or other projects related to working life.

These can be, for example:

  • research (e.g. investigation, survey, analysis and/or evaluation)
  • a development work (e.g. development of working methods or activities)
  • product or service development (e.g. a prototype or model)
  • a plan or product (e.g. an event, design of a material such as a guide/manual or manual)
