About the Program

The Master of Arts in Jewellery is uniquely positioned in the nexus between traditional know-how and craftsmanship, state-of-the-art technology and pioneering research and development. A rigorous approach to experimentation, analysis and critical reflection hones aesthetic self-confidence, independent thinking and confident craftsmanship. The Master's programme is characterised by expanding and shaping the broader concept of "jewellery" and is involved in the contexts of material and technology, body and space, series and one-offs as well as tradition and innovation. Jewellery is interdisciplinary; the jewellery context imparts a special relevance in relation to the body, space, social development, culture and the environment.  The international programme is open to motivated jewellery and object makers with a BA degree or diploma in jewellery. We also welcome applications from the disciplines of accessories, fashion or product design with a particular affinity for jewellery.
