BFA Programme in Metal Art

Education facts

Code: K1MGG

The programme allows you to develop your artistic expression and craftsmanship as you explore the possibilities of metal as an artistic material. As a student you will improve your skills in hot forging, fabrication, welding, sheet metal forming and casting in the largest academic metal workshop in the world. You have access to exchange opportunities, internships, and elective courses, to enabling your learning experience both within and outside of Sweden, and to tailor your studies to your specific artistic interests and career goals. With only six–eight students accepted per year, we offer many opportunities for one-on-one learning with your teachers. Workshop space is shared with master’s students, providing even more possibilities for peer feedback and collaboration. You will explore the materials and methods, and your projects will push you artistically to develop your own voice within metal art. We encourage you to view this programme as part of a larger learning process, building from your previous skills and interests and providing a foundation for you to continue with further apprenticeship. We encourage our graduates to continue honing their skills in our master’s programme.
