MA/MS in Kunst og håndverk

This master in arts and crafts at HVL is a specialisation within the master in arts (Master i kunstfag). It combines creative practice with theory, aesthetics, culture and subject didactics. Students work on their own creative projects and attend lectures, presentations and discussions alongside students from performing arts and teacher education. The study is run as a collection-based programme supported by online teaching, with sessions on Stord and in Bergen. It can be taken full-time over two years or part-time over three to four years. Graduates earn a master degree in arts and crafts and can work in arts and cultural institutions, as self-employed artists, in cultural schools or in schools. Children's and youth literature is offered as a separate option within the same master.
