Welcome to CPPM!

We’ve travelled the world to bring together a remarkable group of artists for an exciting two-year journey—and we’re delighted to have found you! Your unique voice, vision, and passion have brought you here, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome you. We know that taking this step is a big commitment, and we’re truly grateful that you’ve chosen to dedicate the next two years to your creative growth with us.

Throughout the programme, you’ll be supported by a dedicated team of core mentors and guest artists from across the globe, alongside your peers, as you dive into experimentation, collaboration, and pushing the boundaries of your artistic practice.

To help you prepare, we’ve outlined some key information on this page, including important dates, visa details, fees, and accommodation options. Thankfully, we have a few months to ensure you’re fully prepared and confident to embark on this journey. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

We’re planning a Zoom meeting in early November so you can meet your fellow artists, who will be your creative family over the next two years. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get to know each other and address any practical matters. Please review the details below and confirm your availability for the Zoom session.

We can’t wait to meet you all and begin this incredible creative adventure together!

 

With great excitement,
The CPPM Team

Overall, this page is a vital resource for students navigating the administrative and practical aspects of living and studying in Estonia.

  • Your university email

    As a new student, you’ll be provided with a university email address in the format firstname.lastname@eamt.ee. This email is essential for all official communications between you, your courses, and the academy.

    Here’s why your university email is essential:

    1. Primary Communication Channel: This email will receive all important announcements, updates, and information from the academy, including notifications about classes, exams, events, and administrative matters.
    2. Access to Online Platforms: You’ll need this email to sign up for various online platforms, such as Moodle and the Study Portal. On these platforms, you’ll find course materials, submit assignments, and participate in online discussions.
    3. Mailing Lists: Your university email will be used to subscribe to various mailing lists that keep you informed about departmental news, student activities, and other relevant information.
    4. Professional Correspondence: Using your university email for all academic and professional correspondence ensures that faculty and administrative staff recognise and take your communications seriously.
    5. Google Account Benefits: Your university email also provides you with the benefits of a Google account, including access to Google Drive for storing personal files, Google Calendar, Google Docs for creating and sharing documents, and other Google services that can aid your studies and personal organisation.

    By staying on top of your university email, you’ll ensure you don’t miss out on critical information and can effectively manage your academic responsibilities.

    You will receive a separate email soon with instructions on how to set up your university email account.

  • Teaching Team and Guest Artist

    The guest artist and core team for the 2025-27 intake can be found on our Teaching Team page.

  • Moodle

    Moodle

    Moodle is a widely used learning management system (LMS) that supports teaching and learning in educational institutions. At the CPPM, Moodle is a central hub for students and faculty. Here are some key ways it is used:

     

    1. Course Management: Tutors can upload lecture notes, readings, and multimedia resources, making them easily accessible to students.
    2. Assignments and Assessments: Students can submit assignments online, and tutors can provide feedback and grades through the platform.
    3. Interactive Learning: Moodle supports forums, wikis, and blogs, enabling collaborative learning and discussions among students.
    4. Quizzes and Exams: It offers tools for creating and administering quizzes and exams, which can be automatically graded.
    5. Tracking Progress: Both students and tutors can track learning progress and performance through various reporting tools.
    6. Attendance: In some courses where attendance is required, your class attendance will be recorded via Moodle.
    7. Communication: Moodle is also the main communication channel at CPPM, providing both general announcements and specific course-related information. This ensures that students stay informed and connected with their tutors and peers and can easily trace the communication threads.
