The programme provides a stimulating, creative and thought-provoking environment where the future artists will develop a strong grasp on the nature and logic of art, and have the opportunity to exploit and understand culture, and develop the necessary technical and creative skills of sculpture. There are drawing and composition studios, workshops for wood and metal and for stone and woodcarving, equipment for gas, arc and argon welding. There are also machinery for bending, drilling and grinding metals. The courses and the extensive studio work balance the acquisition of wide and varied skills with the pursuit of originality as well as the theoretical background.
Assessment includes studio work, practical work and projects as well as conventional examinations.
The graduates work as sculptors, specialists in environmental design, jewellery and medal production, theatre decoration, restoration and artistic moulding, also as art advisers in the private and the public sector. The graduates who have teaching certificates can also hold teaching positions as art teachers. The Department offers courses leading to Master of Arts and Proficiency in Arts degrees.
