This master’s program is structured in two lines of work: one theoretical and the other practical.
THEORY
– Classes of 4 hours duration each session.
– Theoretical modules run from October 18, 2023 to mid/late January 2024 (approximately). Monday to Thursday. From 16.00h to 20.00h. In the month of March, some of the theoretical classes that are still pending will be given during the same timetable.
– Most of them will be taught by PhD professors, not only from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) but also from other universities.
– These theoretical modules are a fundamental part of the training and bring the student closer to the different documentary forms, their historical evolution and their aesthetic options. With the knowledge acquired, students base their decisions for the practical modules.
– The space where the classes take place is Casa Convalescència – UAB.
The theoretical classes are grouped in two blocks. You can access the syllabus of each of the sessions by CLICKING on them.
