The aim of the Degree Programme in Fine Arts is to create skilled and critical professionals in visual art.
Every year 15 students are enrolled for the Degree Programme in Fine Arts from a number of approximately 350 applicants.

The great number of foreign students, international guest teachers and the study abroad programmes all work together to promote cultural diversity.
Programme pathways
The students studying at the Institute of Fine Arts are taught both practical skills and theoretical approaches necessary for a visual artist. The intensive individual programmes create a flexible and uninhibited work environment; an artistic community for the students and their teachers.
The Degree Programme in Fine Arts offers four lines of study:
- Painting
- Sculpture
- Printmaking
- Extended Media work
After completing the first 2 years students are free to choose their major field. The students are assisted in finding suitable techniques and methods of expression for their artistic interests. During the fourth and last semester each student will compile a thesis and take part in the degree show.
Competitions, commissions and exhibitions are an essential part of the studies. Our teachers and students have been well represented in exhibitions and have been awarded significant grants and scholarships.
