The Academic Year, Calendar Year and the entire training program start in September and January.
Metàfora’s Studio Arts Program is made up of 5 Blocks per year.
Should the student prefer a shorter stay, the course is organised into blocks which can be accumulated to allow flexibility. For example, a student can sign up for Blocks 2 to 4, and can later return to do Block 1.
