Research Seminars

Each VAMA student is to complete three research seminars, each focusing on – but not limited to – one field of study. Both the Media and the Architecture department have a fixed programme: Reading Concepts of Intermediality and Creative City respectively. The Visual Arts department provides a selection of yearly changing topics, based on the current research of staff members, from which the student is free to choose. The topics of these Visual Arts research seminars are posted online in the spring preceding the academic year.
