What kind of students are we looking for?

The University Undergraduate Study of Visual Arts is intended for students who show interest in art, visual culture, creative expression and working with people. We are looking for people who want to develop their own artistic practice, but also understand the wider social, cultural and educational significance of art.

Openness to experimentation, research and interdisciplinary work is important to us, as well as readiness for cooperation, exchange of ideas and active participation in teaching and projects. The study encourages the development of critical thinking, sensitivity to social and cultural issues, and interest in contemporary artistic and pedagogical practices.

We especially appreciate motivated, curious and responsible students who want to connect art, education and the community and contribute to the contemporary cultural and social space with their own work. The study is intended for everyone who understands art as a space of creativity, communication, research and social engagement.
