Class Project and Dissertation

As the culmination of a two-year program, this CU aims to resolve a coherent and distinctive body of work, intellectually informed and contextualized, admitting all kinds of experimental and radical proposals. In this final phase of the program, the lessons learned from the rest of the curriculum, as well as the successes and failures, will finally come to a conclusion. 

The project to be developed during this course may have been started beforehand. However, it is during the course of this UC that it should be completed and prepared for public exhibition, presentation and defense, with the emphasis being placed on synthesizing and resolving practice, preparing students for their future path as photographers, visual artists, and/or researchers.

The development of the final Master's project will be monitored by the coordinating teacher, as well as by guest tutors.

Classes, as well as the syllabus, will be adapted to the nature of the work to be produced by the students, which may involve more or less intensive use of: atelier (for this UC students have access to an individual workspace on campus, available 24h/24h), analog laboratory, digital laboratory, studio, others.

Individual tutorial support, with the necessary indications for a good progression of the work. Support to strengthen the student's artistic and research autonomy.
