Media Arts and Practices University of Nova Gorica

Overview

Media Arts and Practices from University of Nova Gorica is systematically developed, individually mentored and collectively reviewed within the compulsory Progress Track module which runs parallel with the Carrier Modules in the first three semesters, and where students regularly present and discuss with mentors and peers their personal (portfolio) as well as master thesis project progression.

Quick Facts:

• Within the Studio Module the student is required to take one Studio per semester 1, 2 and 3 from a minimum of two choices offered per semester. A Studio course is a collective, congested study experience, closely connected to a student’s individual Carrier Module implementation. As a self-standing course it connects the areas of more Carrier Modules into a cohesive topic-based and research-oriented production. Often realised as a site-specific project in workshop form, it treats a specific topic in an interdisciplinary way.The offer, as well as profile (content) of Studios is "sensitive" to the realm choices of each year’s student cohort.
• Along the entire programme of study, the student is closely connected with peers and mentors: The Carrier Module leader is usually the “expert mentor”, who guides the development of the student’s master thesis project and the overall in-depth acquisition of knowledge and skills within the chosen area. The expert mentors are also engaged within the Progress Track, where they are complemented by the “progress mentor”, guiding all enrolled students through group or individual meetings, through the Studio coursework and towards the Master Thesis. Every student also selects a personal tutor from the programme’s core teaching staff to accompany her/him throughout the study process.
