Higher Education in Flanders

In the ‘master’s year’, the KASK Faculty of Fine Arts (Hogeschool Gent/University College Ghent) wants to offer students continuing from bachelor’s programmes in visual arts a chance to grow as artists or designers. Giving your own artistic process further direction and substance is

central. Students who have completed the three-year bachelor's programme are invited to complete their own master’s project. The substance of this artistic master's project is in a framework of extensive possibilities for reflection, research and consultation. In the master’s programme, the opportunity to make one's own artistic choices within a solid supporting framework is strongly emphasized.

The master’s degree forms the continuation of the bachelor’s degree and aspires to turn out fine artists and autonomous designers who can coordinate, structuralize and concretize their own vision/ideas:

-              the creation of original fine art works which contribute to the development of the arts and stem from a personal artistic vision;

-              the ability to contemplate, analyze, interpret and assess one’s own work of fine art and that of others and the ability to determine one’s own position in the field of work;

-              the ability to present and elucidate one’s own work of fine art;

-              the ability to set up and maintain an inspiring and functional work situation for oneself

-              to demonstrate one’s potential to develop ideas and the ability to utilize philosophical and scientific resources to shape ideas of one’s own;

-              the ability to utilize scientific and philosophical methodologies with a view to a personal presentation of a question, the ability to perform research characteristic of the work of fine art and compose a written report;

-              to possess the necessary enthusiasm to be able to develop one’s talent in one’s own domain: as a fine artist, graphic or multimedia designer, textile designer, fashion designer  or photographer.
