About the School of Arts and Communication

Students working on a project at K3.

The School of Arts and Communication, or K3 as we like to call it, offers courses within ICT, media and the creative arts. K3 approaches studies from a different perspective: We like to see the technical world as the meeting point between fine arts and the humanities and we firmly believe in a philosophy of education where theory and practice work as one. Therefore, we integrate study programmes with joint projects and workshops where students with different skills meet and work together.

The school uses a variety of teaching methods, including traditional lectures, online web interaction, group work, temporary productions, exhibitions and performances. You will do traditional academic assignments as well as cultural productions and design works within your field during your stay. The learning process at K3 stimulates you to move back and forth between practical and theoretical processes -- and as well between individual work and group interaction.

The school also believes in strong interaction with surrounding local communities, municipalities and companies/organisations mostly in the culture and media sector. Teachers and students here will facilitate and critically contribute to cooperative projects. Most of our programmes are 'field work' oriented -- underpinning a general K3 philosophy of a continuous dialogue between theory and practice and ideas and empirical data.
