BFA Programme in Metal Art University of Gothenburg, Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts

The bachelor’s programme in Metal Art allows you to develop your artistic expression and craftsmanship. You explore the possibilities of metal as an artistic material in a unique academic environment in the Swedish countryside. As a student of the programme, you will have the opportunity to hone your skills through introductions to techniques such as hot forging, fabrication, welding, and sheet metal forming in the largest academic metal workshop in the world.

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 a further apprenticeship. We encourage our graduates to continue honing their skills in our master’s programme.
