Two semesters are set aside for the development and consolidation of personal approaches. The freely chosen fields of work are placed in a theoretical discourse through the creation of texts and own critical analysis. The third semester is used for the conception and elaboration, the fourth for the completion of the Master's thesis in the form of an artistic work and the contextualization of this as well as the examination of the chosen subject area in written form.
