Curriculum and Structure

Principles of Curriculum Design

The curriculum of the Bachelor Programme in Visual Arts is structured as a progressive four-year framework (240 ECTS), integrating artistic practice with theoretical content.

It supports the gradual development of competencies by establishing a balance between core courses, supporting courses, elective modules, and professional practice.

The programme is aligned with the European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance (ESG) and the Bologna Process, ensuring transparency, comparability, and international compatibility.

Structure of the Programme by Years of Study

The curriculum is structured progressively over four years of study:

  • Year I – Foundational training in visual perception and artistic language
  • Year II – Technical development and orientation towards Specialisation
  • Year III – Advanced projects and development of artistic identity
  • Year IV – Independent practice and development of a professional portfolio

Course Categories

The programme includes:

  • Core courses that establish the artistic and professional foundation
  • Supporting courses related to the chosen Specialisation
  • Elective courses that enable interdisciplinary exploration

Professional Practice

Professional practice is integrated throughout all years of study and is structured according to the programme’s professional practice strategy.

Course Catalogue and ECTS Credits

The course catalogue includes detailed course descriptions, ECTS credits, learning outcomes, and programme structure by Specialisation. It is available in the official programme documentation.

Curriculum Coherence with Programme Learning Outcomes

The curriculum is designed as an integrated system in which each course contributes directly to the development of artistic, conceptual, and professional competencies.
