THEMATIC AREA: “Art and Public Space”

The Postgraduate Studies Programme changes thematic areas in accordance with the social, political, historical, technological and cultural developments on which artistic creations are based. Nevertheless, the structure of the Postgraduate Studies Programme includes attending compulsory courses with a workshop and theoretical character as well as seminars, in conjunction with a series of elective courses from a wide range of courses related to artistic creation and art theory, which include three semesters (90ECTS). Each course has a duration of 13 weeks.

For the successful completion of the total number of 120 ECTS and graduation from the Postgraduate Study Programme, students need to attend five core courses and two elective courses during three semesters. The fourth semester involves completion of a compulsory thesis (30 ECTS).

Successful attendance of the courses of each semester is a prerequisite for participation in the next semester. Students who fail a course need to repeat that course. Successful completion of the first cycle of postgraduate courses must take place within six semesters from the first registration of the student in the Postgraduate Studies Programme.

For students who have not completed their studies within this time period the General Assembly of the Department, after suggestion by the Coordinating Committee, can grant a six month extension for the successful completion of a course cycle. If after the extension the student has not successfully completed the courses, they lose their student status.

The main axes of each thematic unit as well as the compulsory theoretical and workshop courses of the Postgraduate Study Programme center around providing insights into issues related to spatial perception, management and representation, analysis and comprehension of conception and the process of the creation of visual art and the use of expanded forms of artistic expression.
