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.
