Content

The Master’s Project is at the core of the master’s programme, it represents the final result of the student's academic and artistic progress. At the beginning of the master year, all students define a personal and unique Master’s Project, in concert with the supervisor of their choice.Throughout the academic year, the students are given the time and the freedom to work on this project in an intense and concentrated way. Herein, the school offers the students support in various ways: firstly, students receive individual coaching by the team of supervisors (artists, designers and theoreticians), secondly, the student can benefit from infrastructural facilities, such as individual workspaces, and from technical support in the different workshops and the Sint-Lucas library. As an integrated part of the Master's Degree Project, the student's artistic research is supervised and supported by a reflection the result of which is visible in the dissertation (see als course unit 'Master's Degree Project: Dissertation').

The process is concluded by the Master's Degree Project and the ensuing Graduation Show. The Master's Degree Project is assessed by way of an elaborate presentation (exhibition, presentation(s), performance(s)...) and an oral presentation of the student's artisitc work before a jury consisting of members of the academic staff and external jury members from the world of visual arts. During the Graduation Show the student presents his/her Master's Degree Project or parts thereof to the public.

 

 

Course material

The supervisors advise students on an individual basis, in function of their master project, to assimilate visual material (coming from a.o. books, magazines, websites, audiovisual works) and specialized literature, and to take excursions (such as visits to exhibitions or to artist studio’s).

Format: more information

The student works indepedently on his/her personal project. Individual coaching is provided by way of feedback and dialogue with the master's project supervisor. The supervisor is assigned at the start of the year, on the basis of the preferences of the student, the contents of the individual project and the advice of the supervisors. The student's presence during the weekly, individual feedback moments with the supervisor is mandatory so as to allow a discussion on the student's progress as regards his/her Master's Degree Project.
