InhalteIn the module the students' own artistic practice takes place. Studio work and discussions about the students' individual or collaborative work are at the forefront. The practical module is led over 6 semesters by at least two lecturers, who also provide student counselling for the students in the practical module. Teaching formats include joint work discourses, excursions, studio visits to artists, group discussions and close supervision of the students through individual mentoring. All students in a practical module share workstations in a studio, which also promotes the exchange of ideas and experiences.

BemerkungStudents will receive detailed information about the organisation and financing of study trips at the beginning of the semester.

If a study trip includes overnight stays, the Bachelor Fine Arts normally arranges and pays the accommodation while students have to organise their own journey and cover their travel expenses. In case of one-day study trips, the Bachelor Fine Arts generally reimburses 50% of the train or bus ticket costs (2nd class) if the full ticket price per trip exceeds CHF 40.-. The original tickets are necessary for any reimbursement.
