About the programmesIn the autumn of 2014, Konstfack will introduce four new master's programmes in Craft, Design, Art, and Visual Communication. All programmes will prepare graduates to pursue doctoral research or begin professional careers. The programmes will offer students a space to ask questions about the world around them, to think critically, to challenge themselves intellectually, and to grow as makers.
"We'll be supporting students' own projects even more, and offering more individual courses and ways for students to tailor the syllabus to their own unique interests and needs," says Vice-Chancellor Maria Lantz. She adds that "clarity" has been a watchword in formulating the new programmes, which will help students better position themselves in contexts where their individual abilities are most relevant and can have the most impact. The programmes lead to a Master of Fine Arts and are full-time, two-year, 120-university-credit programmes. Design: The Master's programme in Design responds to society's need for diversified thinking and expertise. Students will expand their capacity to formulate and approach problems experimentally, artistically, and in a spirit of critical reflection. Students may specialise in Spatial Design or design an individual study plan. You can focus on a professional career designing furniture, products or services, or choose a focus that is a hybrid and extension of these professions. Focus on complex social challenges, or work with design that transcends the object, or position yourself in a widening field undergoing change—architecture and spatial design. Fine Art: The Master's in Fine Art is based on an individualized, interdisciplinary work process. The focus is on supporting students' self-reflection, development, and penetration into their own artistic projects. The studios, workshops, and shared discussion provide starting points for the creative process. CRAFT!: Ceramics and Glass + Textiles + Ädellab = CRAFT! This programme sees the applied arts as a method for questioning the way things are. The applied arts become a tool to enable critical inquiry through—and into—making and materialising. The programme focuses on individual projects. Students may specialise in any one of the three combined tracks. Visual Communication: Who shares what, and with whom? Through which forms and media? To what effect? This norm-creative programme gives students tools for understanding the interrelationships within a communicative process and how they create or transform meaning.
