School of Arts and Communication/K3

                                                                                                   På svenska

The School of Arts and Communication, in Swedish 'K3' (Konst, Kultur och Kommunikation), is a multidisciplinary research and educational school working within two broad areas: design, media and culture.

We offer programmes in Interaction Design, Design and Visual Communiction, Performing Arts Design, Cultural Production and Communication for Development among others. In addition, we offer a range of single unit courses.

The school is committed to a variety of pedagogic devices, implying a mix of old and new media, and a combination of traditional lectures, online web interaction, group work, temporary productions, exhibitions and performances. You will do traditional academic assignments as well as cultural productions, 'gestaltung' or/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/organizations mostly in the culture and media sector. Teachers and students here will here facilitate and critically contribute to cooperative projects. If not involved in particular cooperations you will experience that most programmes are 'field work' oriented - underpinning a general K3 philosophy of a continuous dialogue between theory and practice and ideas and empirical data.
