The spring term is devoted to an examination assignment encompassing 20 credits, which is to be presented in a group exhibition. One part of the examination assignment is a written text of 5 pages.

The examination also consists of a verbal presentation of the students artistic work. During the spring term, there are regular discussions with teachers and invited curators on the subject of what it means to participate in a group exhibition, what kinds of contexts that are being created, what kinds of choices that are being made, and the role of the individual artist. This is done in a series of seminars consisting of two days every other week. During the spring term, the stundents have access to an in-house teacher at the Academy, as well as an external tutor.
