She got a design project if she wants to have it, her mentor says that has to waite untill she is done with school

Hon har redan fått ett drömuppdrag

Madeleine kan ta vid där designprinsen Sigvard Bernadotte slutade.
Nu har den hästtokiga prinsessan fått ett drömerbjudande:
Att formge Carl von Linnés "plugghäst".

Förra året dog Sigvard Bernadotte. Designprinsen var en framgångsrik formgivare och industridesigner. Nu kan tomrummet fyllas av en blivande designprinsessa: Madeleine.
Madeleine har länge intresserat sig för konst, design och arkitektur. I höstas praktiserade hon hos arkitekten Thomas Sandell.

"Oerhört kul"

- Det var oerhört kul, har Madeleine berättat för Expressen.
I dag kan tidningen avslöja vad som kan bli Madeleines första designjobb: att formge Carl von Linnés plugghäst. Vetenskapsmannen lät tillverka föreläsningsstolen i Uppsala 1741 - nu vill kulturprojektet Plugghästen vidareutveckla stolen. Tanken är att den ska bli framtidens skolbänk.
Kulturprojektet har tidigare uppmuntrats med ett stipendium från kungens egen stiftelse Carl Gustaf. Nu hoppas initiativtagaren Gunnar Grip på mer kunglig glans.
- Prinsessan har visat intresse och tycker att det är spännande, säger Gunnar Grip.
Enligt Lena Ramel behöver Madeleine studera lite till innan det kan bli aktuellt.
- Det är en jättetrevlig idé. Men prinsessan har inte hunnit förkovra sig djupare inom ämnet - det är en väldig styrka att ha gjort det innan man ger sig in på ett designprojekt.

Yes, please, pleeeease? Even a couple of lines of summary would be wonderful. :flower:

Are their any free translators on the web for Swedish to English? I have looked before but didn't find anything.

Does anybody know how well her best friend Louise Gottlieb (nickname Lussan) is doing at University?

What is this about a design project Princess Madeleine has been offered? Is it a "proper" full time job or a type of temporary project for an employer?

Thanks, Gita. :flower:

In the third picture down of the shoes posted by Josefine, it looks like Madeline is wearing nude-coloured stockings with her black sandals. Or am I just seeing things? But if she is, shame on stylish Madeline!

[Lena]

Yes, it looks so, as if she´s wearing stockings. But this picture is about five years old. There Madeleine was a cute little chubby-faced girl, but not the Queen of style, she is today ;-)

Party princess aced her exams

Princess Madeleine of Sweden, known for her partying, reveals new talents as she aces all her art history exams.
The Swedish paper Expressen reported the news.

The princess started as an art history major at University of Stockholm this winter. At the time she told the press that she feared the exams, but she apparently had no reason to do so. The Princess received the best possible grades in all subjects and is a perfect student.
Princess Madeleine was for a long time a frequent guest at Stockholm’s most trendy clubs, but she has now left the scene and she is focusing her studies.
“This is wonderful. There are really not a lot of students who receive such grades,” said Elise Dickson, student advisor at the university, to the paper.
Madeleine’s advisor is also impressed.
“She is extremely talented in this area, and it is therefore very exciting that she is succeeding with her studies,” said Lena Ramel to the paper, and she reveals that the princess is very ambitious.

Quitting the party scene

Madeleine graduated high school with very good grades, but after this she left for London and she became known to be quite a party princess. She was for a long time a frequent guest at Stockholm’s most trendy clubs, but she has now left the scene and she is focusing her studies

@Yennie or anybody else (from sweden) who knows it
I know this a difficult question and not easy to answer. But I wonder how "difficult" are exams in art history (I guess that term in the article is wrong, isn´t she studying "art science")? I mean in my country it´s that way that there a big differences between for example "business studies", "medicine", "law" and easier studies like "social pedagogy" "sports"or "art" (my both cousins are studying art, and it doesn´t seem to be too exhausting for them. That shouldn´t be valuing.-All proffessions are important, but it´s obvious that you need for some study paths more input than for others. In Germany it´s also that way, that you can study some things like medicine just with an very good average at your final highschool-exams). I mean is "art science" in Sweden a study path where you really have to study a lot (with an average IQ) or is it more that way that you can make yourself a nice time during your studies and that you can easy pass your exams?

I was wondering exactly the same when reading the article!

Konstvetenskap

Behovet att skapa bilder av verkligheten, gestalta idéer, forma miljöer har funnits i alla tider och alla kulturer. Inom ämnet konstvetenskap får du följa hur denna gestaltningsvilja har förändrats till form och innehåll från forntid till nutid. Våra konstobjekt och byggnader existerar inte autonomt utan är knutna till det samhälle, som de är tillkomna i. Vi vill förmedla hur konsten och arkitekturen förhåller sig till samhället, till politik och religion och inte minst till människosyn. Konstvetenskap syftar till att utveckla din förmåga att analysera bilder och byggnadsverk, att göra dig observant på vilken information konstverk och byggnader erbjuder som estetiska objekt och som uttryck för en livsuppfattning. Genom dina studier får du redskap att tolka och förstå din omgivning, såväl de bilder som du möter i konstmuseet som vardagens triviala bilder, såväl offentliga byggnader som industriarkitektur. Att studera konstvetenskap innebär i stort att se och förnimma och att dra slutsatser av dessa erfarenheter. Det enda du inte får reda på, det är vad konst är.
Utbildningen kan leda till tjänster inom den statliga och kommunala kultursektorn t ex museer och konsthallar, vid länsstyrelsernas kulturmiljöenheter, inom auktions- och galleriverksamheten, inom media såsom radio/TV, tidningar, tidskrifter och bokförlag och som lärare, konservator och arkivarie. Detta beroende på bl a kombinationen med andra studier och utbildningar.
Utbildningen inom ämnet erbjuder tre olika inriktningar, som leder till Påbyggnadskurs i konstvetenskap nämligen: alt.1)Grundkurs 40 poäng, alt. 2)Grundkurs 20 poäng samt Fortsättningskurs 20 poäng, alt.3)normalt antingen Grundkurs 20 poäng eller 40 poäng i konstvetenskap och därefter kurs i Bebyggelsehistoria med byggnadsvård, 20 poäng. Därutöver erbjuds kortare kurser, vilka är profilerade mot ett snävare ämnesområde. Dessa kurser är f n ej påbyggbara men kräver heller inte några speciella förkunskaper i konstvetenskap.

Teaching and learning methods:
At the undergraduate level, all lectures, seminars and most of the literature are in Swedish.

The principal teaching methods are: lectures, colloquia, seminars and occasional study visits. However, the greater part of the courses consists of independent study.

Each course has a Director of Studies. Senior Lecturers and other teachers are also involved in these courses.

For information concerning names of teachers, schedules, curriculum and course literature, see the current lists, which are updated before the beginning of each semester.

Methods of assessment:
At the undergraduate level, examinations are normally written, oral or a combination of both. Sometimes attendance at seminars, lectures etc. is compulsory. Evaluation is conducted continuously during the semester, with examinations generally held at the end of each course unit. Students who are not successful in an examination are given the opportunity of a re-examination during or at the end of the semester.

In order to receive a grade for the entire course student must successfully complete each course unit.

Students intending to take a written examination should register at the Department office at least five days in advance. Registration for an oral examination should be made to the lecturer/professor personally or by telephone.

Three grades are given at the undergraduate level: Pass with Distinction (Väl godkänd /VG), Pass (Godkänd/G) and Fail (Underkänd/U).

For course units comprising of 3 ECTS credits or less, there are only two grades: Pass and Fail.

Students who have attained a passing grade in an examination cannot request re-examination in the same course unit in order to receive a higher grade.

ECTS students are free to write their papers and examinations in English, German or French, provided this has been agreed between the home and host institutions before departure. The use of dictionaries is generally not allowed during written examinations.



General description of programs at the department:
The Department offers both undergraduate studies and postgraduate studies.


Undergraduate studies:

The single subject undergraduate courses are given at four levels: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Specialized.The levels are further divided into three different fields of study. Each single subject course consists of several course units.

For further information concerning courses, see the course list in this database.

Regarding ECTS students:

The prerequisites for an ECTS student are at least one full academic year in Western Art History from Antiquity to Contemporaneity (lowest grade Pass). ECTS students are also expected to have a basic knowledge of Swedish and English before arrival.

ECTS students may choose course units from different courses and collect ECTS credits, provided that this has been approved by the ECTS Departmental co-ordinators of both the home and the host institutions.

Erasmus/Socrates students have the opportunity of studying a specially arranged programme lasting for one academic year. The programme consists of two parts (A + B  ) :

A. The History of Art and the Built Environment in the Nordic Countries, particularly Sweden (30 ECTS credits)

1. Course in the History of Swedish Built Environment, KV 1050, course units number 1,2 and 3 (15 ECTS credits).
2. Basic Course in the History of Art, KV 1040, course units number 2 (only the part concerning Scandinavian Art), 4, and 6 (15 ECTS credits).
The course units in course KV 1050 are given each autumn semester. The course units in course KV 1040 are given each autumn and spring semester.

B. Advanced Course KV 3040 (30 ECTS credits).

In September, the student is to choose a research area for the course paper in consultation with the ECTS Departmental co-ordinator. Following this, a member of the staff will be appointed as supervisor. The student should report at least once a month to the supervisor, but is also free to consult him/her when necessary. The greater part of the work on the paper should take place during the spring semester.

Postgraduate (doctoral) studies:

The doctoral programme leads to a Ph D. It is, however, possible to enrol for only a part of the programme, an intermediate stage, which leads to a Licentiate degree.

Admission is restricted and takes place once a year. The Erasmus/Socrates student, however, has the possibility of attending parts of the postgraduate programme without being formally admitted to the programme.

Necessary qualifications:
• A Bachelor´s degree or the equivalent from a university recognized by the Ministry of Education
• 80 Swedish credits in the History of Art including the Specialized Course, KV 5010 in the History of Art or the equivalent.

Recommended necessary qualifications:
A very good knowledge of Swedish, English, German and French. A basic knowledge of other languages may also be necessary depending on the subject of the dissertation.

The Doctoral Programme, 240 ECTS credits

Doctoral students are engaged both on research assignments and in theoretical studies in the form of seminars and/or courses. The research assignment should result in a dissertation, which will require the bulk of the student´s time.

The Ph D syllabus consists of the following:

A. Theory, Methodology and Philosophy of the Human Sciences, 15 ECTS credits
B. Early and Modern Theory of Art, 15 ECTS credits. Approximately 2000 pages. Written or oral examination
C. History of Art including Nordic Art, 22.5 ECTS credits. Approximately 5000 pages. Oral examinations.

Seminars. The seminars deal with general subjects in the History of Art. The candidate is expected to present parts of his/her thesis work at seminars.

Opposition. Doctoral students are also expected to act as opponents, either for a student´s course paper on the Specialized Course or at a Licentiate dissertation.

The Licentiate Stage, 120 ECTS Credits

Students are engaged both on research assignments and in theoretical studies in the form of seminars and/or courses. The research assignment should result in a dissertation.

The Licentiate syllabus consists of following parts:

Courses in the doctoral degree programme: A, B, C and a specialized course, 60 ECTS credits.

Dissertation, 60 ECTS credits. An individual supervisor will instruct the student in the dissertation work. The dissertation is presented and defended at a seminar.

Thanks, Josefine...

How do Madeleine´s teacher call her?! I mean, they have to talk to her! Do they say Madeleine or Mrs Bernadotte or Princess?

@ Helen
Good to know, that somebody is thinking the same I felt myself a little bit "brazen" and "arrogant" with my question. If you are the Helen of Ritva´s board (and I´m quite sure you are) you have got mail of me.

@Helen
Please tell me, when you have got the mail, because I always get mailer-dämon-mails (is your e-mail-adress inactivated?), when I send it to your adress.

[Lena]

Is it in Sweden also that way that you can read the marks of your study-exams on the internet (maybe encoded through a number instead of your name?)
