KUNSTHOGSKOLEN I BERGEN (KHIB)
BERGEN COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN

NEW MA PROGRAM IN FINE ARTS FROM AUGUST 2004

Bergen College of Art and Design, Bergen, Norway, is now inviting 
applications for a two-year masters programme in Fine Arts, starting in 
August 2004.  KHIB is one of two national colleges of Art and Design in 
Norway, and currently has around 300 students in the fields of Fine Arts, 
Furniture Design & Interior Architecture and Visual Communication/Graphic 
Design.

State-financed higher education in Norway is provided free: international 
students pay no tuition fees, but must be self-financed in relation to 
subsistence in Norway.

Studies in Fine Arts at MA level are project-based and practice-oriented. 
It is possible to work within a range of media, materials and practices 
including painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, video & electronic 
media, installation, performance, photography, textiles and ceramics.

Studies are co-ordinated by course leader Professor Jeremy Welsh and each 
MA student will be allocated a personal supervisor from the College's 
academic staff according to the nature of the individual's MA project. 
Studio-based practice will be supplemented by intensive theory 
seminars/lecture series, and a weekly student-led seminar involving all MA 
candidates. Examination will be based upon the completed MA project and an 
accompanying written text that is intended to contextualize the project 
within a broader cultural discourse.

APPLICATION DEADLINE IS 1st. JUNE 2004

Applications must include:
completed application form
a written project description/proposal for a two year project
