Doing fashion is a culture, and fashion design is a cultural practice. Fashion is involved in all areas that are very important to us at the moment. Alongside a emphasis on performance and performativity, the degree programme is characterised by a focus on the body, its perception and movement, on body-based design methods and on body-knowledge.

Studying Fine Arts fosters the develop of a distinct, individual artistic position. In the studio, in workshops, in project work and in the context of exhibitions students gradually develop their own artistic language.

The masterprogramme focuses on an in-depth examination of the students’ artistic practice. By means of reflection they advance their practice and relate it to the current as well as historical art context.

The way we dress is an effective form of non-verbal communication that can convey a variety of messages about our identity, including our cultural background and personal values. In the Masterstudio Fashion Design, students embark on a creative journey to explore the intersection of cultural identity and innovation in fashion.

Everything in our world is designed: from our everyday objects and the architecture of our cities to the structures and systems that affect how we interact. As designers, we help to shape this world: students learn how to develop different forms of co-living and initiate social change. The focus is on the key issues of social justice, sustainability and digitality, which are addressed in a collaborative way.

Transversal Design is a study programme for practice-based research that grows community infrastructures for worlds in transition. We investigate the social, political, ecological and technological dynamics of the systems we live by to design for grounded transformation – from alternative media, speculative models, and practices of care, to tools for solidarity and radical proposals for innovation.
