Délai de candidature

In this bilingual two-year program students work within a variety of artistic practices, from photography and media arts to sculpture, painting and drawing, video and installation art. They take an in-depth look at theories informing contemporary art and image culture, and choose between an interdisciplinary studio approach or specializing in a single medium.

In order to ensure our students high-quality instruction, the program has limited enrolment: only seven candidates are admitted per year, and fourteen candidates are in the program at any given time. The program is for students wishing to study full-time only. Generous bursaries and teaching assistantships are provided for students with appropriate academic and professional achievements.

Maîtrise en arts visuels

Ce programme bilingue de deux ans comprend une diversité de pratiques artistiques : de la photographie aux arts médiatiques, en passant par la sculpture, la peinture, le dessin, la vidéo et l’installation. En plus d’examiner d’un oeil critique les théories de l’art contemporain et de la culture de l’image, les étudiants et étudiantes seront invités à adopter une approche interdisciplinaire ou à se spécialiser dans une discipline artistique particulière.

Afin de garantir aux étudiants un enseignement de qualité, le programme est contingenté: seulement six candidats sont admis par année et le programme se limite en tout temps à 12 étudiants. Le programme s'adresse uniquement aux étudiantes et étudiants qui veulent étudier à temps plein et ces derniers ont la possibilité d’obtenir des bourses et des assistanats.
