School of Arts and Communication
Arts and Communication
At the School of Arts and Communication (K3), we work with interdisciplinary education and research in media, culture and design. We combine traditional scientific and academic theory with artistic methods and practical elements.
Education at K3
The School brings together technology and culture. Our students work with new media, design, culture and a wide range of arts. A hallmark of K3 is that we collaborate with companies, organisations and other parties. Our students work with real-life cases through projects and assignments. Find our courses in the course catalogue.

Research at K3
K3 attracts researchers in several different disciplines, from design and information technology to media research and cultural sciences. Research projects can involve anything from participant design and physical computing to social media, cartoons and questions about culture and class. Much of the research is done together with external parties.

Current events at K3
The Narrative Characteristics of the Inked Black Line in Comics
The Narrative Characteristics of the Inked Black Line in ComicsThe Swedish Research Council gives Gunnar Krantz, professor within the arts at K3, 1.5 million kronor for a year's work on the project " Autographic Double Exposure – the Narrative Characteristics of the Inked Black Line in Comics ." He will investigate the impact of two different printing techniques on storytelling in comics and how these can create new narratives through experimental methods. The results will be analyzed and compared and finally result in the production of a more extensive work - a graphic novel - where experiences and acquired knowledge are put to the test in practice.

Desis Lab
Desis LabThe Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability (DESIS) Lab focuses on how design can be used to explore and raise discussions about societal challenges. It does so both through research projects and teaching activities.
Studio residencies
Studio residenciesIaspis is an international programme for visual and applied artists. Its mission is to work with internationalisation with the aim of increasing and developing contacts between Swedish artists and international institutions and fellow artists.
Doctoral studies at K3
The School of Arts and Communication (K3) provides third-cycle education and awards degrees in interaction design and media and communication studies. In order to be admitted to third-cycle education, you need to apply for a vacant position as a doctoral student.
Collaborate with K3
For K3, it is natural to collaborate with different parties. Many teachers and researchers run their own activities, companies or projects alongside their work. It is natural to involve people outside the university in our study programmes, degree projects, research projects or other types of projects. One exciting example is the IASPIS studio for collaboration with international artists.
Please contact us if you have ideas for collaboration with our students or researchers.
