The Honours programme ART and RESEARCH consists of a collaboration between the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the University of Amsterdam. The programme aims to combine the best of both institutions in a programme that allows art students the opportunity to engage with theory on a deeper level than what is offered in the Gerrit Rietveld Academie’s regular courses, while on the other hand, it involves university students in creative processes absent in the scope of the University of Amsterdam’s courses.
Departing from the idea that there are certain overlaps between the practices of science and art, it provides students with the incentive to link different perspectives and methodologies, as well as challenge traditions, in order to create and develop new modes of research, while learning from each other’s fields of study in the process.
Another characteristic feature of “ART and RESEARCH” is the extremely wide range of disciplines it brings together, with participants from departments such as the Gerrit Rietveld Academie’s “Audiovisual”, “Fine Arts”, “Glass”, and “Graphic Design”, the University’s “Future Planet Studies”, “Theatre Studies”, “Philosophy”, “Art History” and “Literature Studies”
The program runs over 2 semesters and results in a publication and an exhibition.
On the 24th of May, artists and researchers from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the University of Amsterdam are honoured to invite you to our opening of the exhibition and launch of the programme’s publication ‘I Wanna Split Up’.

About
The ART and RESEARCH Programme consists of a collaboration between the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the University of Amsterdam. Initially developed in 2006 and already on its 10th edition, it aims to combine the best of both institutions in a programme that gives art students the opportunity to engage with theory on a deeper level than what is offered by the Gerrit Rietveld Academie’s regular courses, while on the other hand, involving university students in creative processes generally absent from the scope of the University of Amsterdam’s courses. Departing from the idea that there are certain overlaps between the practices of science and art, the programme provides students with the incentive to link different perspectives and methodologies, as well as challenge traditions, in order to create and develop new modes of research, all the while learning about each other’s fields of study in the process.
Application and admission
Students who commenced their second academic year in September 2020 are eligible to apply for the ART and RESEARCH Programme. Also students in their third academic year, who will not receive their diploma before February 2022, can apply. However, the latter need to discuss this with their head of department to make sure this does not hinder the successful completion of their thesis and graduation project.
Students who wish to apply should submit the following documents:
- A letter of motivation in which you explain why you wish to participate in the ART and RESEARCH Programme and what makes you a suitable candidate;
- A CV;
- A Portfolio;
Send your application to Paula Albuquerque (paula.albuquerque@rietveldacademie.nl) before October 31st, 2020.
