Creative and practical-aesthetic learning processes are experience-based learning processes associated with active, physical, experience-oriented, relational, creative and exploratory strategies for holistic learning. The term "practical-aesthetic learning processes" reflects the programme's intention of an innovative and development-oriented focus on the learning processes that have been developed over a long period of time within the practical and aesthetic subjects. The interaction with knowledge of and influences from the surroundings is also a recurring theme. The course provides a general introduction to the theory and research-led basis for analysis and application of creative and practical-aesthetic learning processes in different practice contexts.

In addition, Course 1 will help prepare the candidate's choice of their master's work by introducing relevant issues, recent research and development work and relevant R&D projects at the educational institution.
