Arbeids- og læringsformer

Telemark University College is situated in the eastern part of Norway. During the study programme students will mainly work outdoors with installations, buildings, objects and sculptures. They will use areas in the mountains and a nearby lake not far from the university college campus. The study programme will examine terms such as “green art”, “sustainable formgiving” and “post-carbon arts and crafts”. One of the aims of the study programme is to reuse, reduce and recycle in the making process; students will also be encouraged to develop a sense of place and context during their practical work with each project.

Students will participate in collaborative projects on a large scale. The intervention context will often concern learning about a place, a craft or an issue and finding a creative opportunity to do something about it through the making process. Practice and nature are the starting points for the learning process.

Vurderingsformer

The grade for the course will be based on portfolio assessment. The final assessment will be made after all obligatory requirements have been satisfactorily completed.

A single final grade is recorded on the diploma, graded from A to F, where A is the highest grade, and E is the lowest passing grade. Students must receive a passing mark in each course in order to receive a passing grade for the study programme.

Please refer to the examination regulations of Telemark University College for additional information.
