From 1st October 2021 it will be possible to study the Master's programme Sculptural Conceptions / Ceramics in English. This will eliminate the need to learn German within the first year of study, which has so far prevented many international students from applying for this Master's degree programme. This means that all graduates of a bachelor’s, or a diploma in the field of arts, are now invited to apply if they have an interest in studying sculpture – with a focus on ceramic materials.
Another advantage of the programme at the University of Art and Design Linz: there are no or only small tuition fees. The semester fees for EU citizens amount to EUR 20.20. Non-EU citizens pay tuition fees of EUR 746.92 per semester.
The master programme Sculptural Conceptions / Ceramics sees graduates of the bachelor programme of the same name continue their artistic development with changed objectives. The bachelor programme allows students to become aware of their own artistic practice’s potentials by realising and reflecting on projects. The master programme gives them space for an in-depth elaboration of their practice and of an individual artistic position. Additionally, a broad range of theoretical lectures facilitates students‘ abilities to reflect on their own artistry. The study field Professionalisation provides insight into the strategies of the art market and connections to gallery owners and curators. At the same time, students learn how to present and write about their own work so they can lay the groundwork for a successful entry into independent artistic activities.
Furthermore, the master programme Sculptural Conceptions / Ceramics offers holders of a bachelor or diploma degree from another academy or university in the field of visual arts the chance to set a new thematic priority in the field of sculptural-spatial work with ceramics and other materials. The department’s subject focus is on the creation of a material basis for artistic projects. Materiality not only allows for a visual and haptic experience of artistic projects, it also builds a bridge to an inexhaustible multitude of associations, memories and sensations. The different modes of working with a material play a vital part as well. Students practice and reflect on these in the course of the programme.
The range of applications stretches from an innovative-experimental approach to the acquisition of passed-on ceramic techniques in order to realise artistic projects referring to certain traditions.
