Seminars, thematic studies & internationality

MA programme is initiating and facilitating theme based courses and seminars that handle current societal, ecological and artistic issues. The studies provide opportunities for multi- and transdisciplinary views, practice-based research and networking. In addition to field trips, exchange studies and international visiting teachers, the programme itself is constantly cultivated by international advising and peer support. Professor Kirsi Monni visits regularly other art universities, and is asked to act as an external evaluator and peer reviewer in study, research and recruitment matters.
