Thanks to research modules offered in cooperation with the Art, Design & Public Spheres Research Group and such international partners as the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the Majors in Art Teaching (MAT) students pursue research and analysis in the fields of cultural studies, art research, art mediation and education. They take Art and Cultural Studies theory modules along with students doing the Major Art in Public Spheres: in addition to the modules Public Spheres 1–3, they benefit from the special series “Master’s Input” and “Master Dialogues”, the network module “Art Education”, which is offered nationwide in Switzerland – in Lucerne with a focus on media pedagogy – and from the pré-doc-seminar Art in Public Spheres (pilot phase launched autumn semester 2014/15), which is taught jointly by the Lucerne School of Design, Film and Art and HEAD Geneva. Lecturers’ intensive research activities in the Competence Clusters at the Lucerne School of Design, Film and Art guarantee direct knowledge transfer from research to theory to practice, and vice versa. Students benefit also from institutional, interregional and international cooperation between various art schools.
