Universidad De Concepción

Licentiate of fine Arts (Education)

The Licentiate of Arts is a degree roughly equivalent to the completion of half the coursework required for a doctoral dissertation in arts.
The course of studies is made up of a group of basic subjects, some compulsory, some optional and others that correspond to the oriented cycles. The orientations offered at present are:
Classic Art, Modern Art and Linguistics, each of which groups its subjects by areas. The syllabus tends to guarantee a balance between the traditional conception of language and literature studies and the existence of new disciplines that meet current needs, being careful not to set limitations to working fields that students might find interesting.
Two different degrees can be obtained depending on the choice that students make at the final stage. In order to obtain the Licentiate Degree students are required to attend two seminars and hand in the corresponding Papers. For getting the Teaching Degree, they have to attend two pedagogical subjects.
