MA CAP Master of Arts in Contemporary Arts Practice at Bern University  
of the Arts
http://www.hkb.bfh.ch/macap.html?&L=2
Deadline for Application: 15 March 2010


…You write texts in unusual and innovative formats; you are an  
experienced musician with
many questions, which other musicians cannot answer; you work with  
images and keep
making new discoveries at their diffuse borders; you perform, but the  
space doesn’t always
play along; you know a lot, but like to listen; you sometimes look  
over the fence; you are
fast, but slow down in unexpected places…

The MA CAP offers you space to develop your qualities.
We put artistic thought and action first and provide opportunities to  
test and develop
your own models for individual and collaborative production.
Our degree program has a moderate size, but integrates a wide range of  
artistic personalities
with their specific skills, as well as providing international  
contacts, who help
you focus and fine-tune your work.

The MA-program usually takes 2 years and, aside from the further  
development of your
creative work, also allows insight in theoretical and media  
theoretical discourses.
We prefer work to be permeable and will gladly assist you in focusing  
your studies on
this quality, we will however give the same dedicated support to  
students working
within the clearly defined boundaries of specific artistic fields.

Specialists from all workshops, studios and production labs of the  
Bern University of
the Arts are available for assistance and support. Cooperation  
networks with other universities
are also available. We are convinced that the exchange with peers will  
greatly
contribute to the quality of your work and are happy to provide the  
necessary framework
for this to happen.
We welcome artistic interests in various fields as well as artists and  
authors focusing
on one discipline, with curiosity about other art forms.

To apply for this MA-program, a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, Music  
(Music and Media
Art, Composition), Literature (Literary Writing), Performance Art or  
an equivalent
artistic education are required. If you have a diploma in a different  
field such as a translator’s
diploma or an artistic biography without diplomas, do not hesitate to  
contact us
for further information about applying to the MA CAP.
