Arts Masters and possibilities.

[achapiro]

Hello everyone!

I know someone who is very interested in doing a Master's course abroad. She is a student from a medium sized university in Brazil interested in Body Art and Art's History.

This person is a good student (let's say top 10% of her department). She has performed two or three times, some of these in large national events. I'm pretty sure she would get great recommendations from her undergrad professors, stating that she is a very interested and engaged student.

She might also have at least one scientific publication by the time she graduates in the middle of 2012 and is reasonably fluent in English (I'm gonna guess about 80-90 on TOEFL).

I'm trying to help her gauge her possibilities related to a Master's course, so I'm looking for suggestions of good schools for her to try, considering her level (i.e., good international schools where she would have a reasonable chance to pass). She would also be relying on funding to go through with this idea, although some funding from Brazil is possible, which makes me think more about schools in Europe (as they don't seem to charge much for tuition and the Brazilian scholarships would probably be just for living expenses).

Any help is very appreciated. Thanks!

No one has any comments at all?

Your post is kind of mysterious to me. What do you mean specifically by she in interested in Body Art? She has performed in what exactly; singing, acting, dance, etc.? How does having a scientific publication have anything to do with art or performing? What kind of masters course are you talking about as there are lots of them?

I think you need to be more specific to get any relevant responses.

Hi Fool4nine.

By Body Art I meant things like tatoos and piercings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_art).

She has performed mostly with watercolor painting.

Having a scientific publication in Art's History is quite relevant to studying Fine Arts, I guess. I suppose "scientific" is relative.

I'm talking about the usually 2 year long postgraduate programs aimed at people who have a Bachelor's degree and extend their formation.

So it would most likely be this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Arts_%28postgraduate%29

or perhaps even this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Fine_Arts
