Contents

The programme combines creative work in the form of the presentations and artistic expressions with a more theoretical approach to literature, film and theatre. This means that the programme is practical within an academic framework. The text material to be studied varies across media, genres and geography, and spans from the great narratives in history to current popular cultural expressions within the three art forms.


The programme is a collaboration between The Faculty of Humanities and Pedagogy and the Faculty of Fine Arts.

Teaching and learning methods

The teaching methods alternate between the introductory lectures, seminars where the students themselves present material in diverse ways, and supervised projects. A great part of the work is project work in groups. There is a compulsory attendance requirement (80%) at workshops and in the film- and theater production parts. Details of compulsory attendance will be described in the semester plan. During the spring semester, there will be a study trip for experiencing and discussing theatre. The language of instruction is Norwegian.
The workload is estimated to about 800 hours.
