Nordic Visual studies and Art education, NoVA, welcomes applications for the Master’s degree programme. NoVA educates professionals and researchers on contemporary art and education, digital communication, and visual studies.
NoVA provides relevant competences and pedagogical interaction skills for working in cross-cultural and international educational and communication environments, or for continuing research at the doctoral level.
Through courses on visual culture, social theory, pedagogy, aesthetics in digital communications and games, for example, students investigate seeing and being seen. NoVA students explore how digital technologies affect perception and how vision is constructed. Students research visual events to understand the relationship between institutions, the media, society, and the economic sphere. Thus the NoVA programme provides students with opportunities to critically reflect upon and synthesize previous experiences and knowledge as well as generate new knowledge on contemporary art and education, digital communication, and visual studies.
NoVA pushes geographical, pedagogical, and research boundaries through its network of international partners, diverse experiences, and research topics and methods. The program is committed understanding and teaching the best of Nordic art education practices while responding to learners from around the world, and addressing global challenges and possibilities.
NoVA is a two-year masters, and teaching is provided by four Nordic universities & university colleges: Aalto University School of Art, Design and Architecture, in Helsinki; Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm; Department of Art, Design and Drama at Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Science in Oslo, and Department for Communication and Psychology at Aalborg University in Copenhagen. Teaching is provided by four Nordic universities, and each student will study in person at two universities, and study through e-learning and contact teaching.
