Arts and Design Education BA

The Arts and Design Education bachelor’s programme combines artistic and creative practices with a discursive and context-driven examination of art, design and education. During your studies, you delve into art, design, culture, society, education policy and communication in a practical, theoretical and pedagogical way. You learn to integrate the experience of self-efficacy and the critical potential of artistic and creative action into your teaching practice. You strengthen your ability to talk about creative and artistic issues, acquire manual and technical skills, learn creative research methods, gain knowledge of art and design history, and try out (multi)media ways of working. In the Arts and Design Education bachelor’s study programme, these skills are the foundation for initiating and supporting learning situations and community and educational processes that are sensitive to diversity and sustainability. Collaborations with regional, national and international partners in art, culture and education provide insights and first experiences in the teaching field.
