Fine Arts

Astonishment provides for an entirely pure perception. If you understand the art of astonishment, you’re in a position to see the world with other eyes and make new discoveries. That is the basis of the creativity of art. During the Fine Arts programme, you’re stimulated to astonish yourself and challenged todiscover all your talents. Naturally, you also learn to work with a large number of materials and techniques, among them the new media. So you get broad insight into the illustrative possibilities of 2D-, 3D- and 4D-design.

The best!
For years now, the Fine Arts course in Maastricht has beenknown as the best in the Netherlands. Why? A cast iron teaching team accompanies you. No collection of wellknown artists who drop in from time to time, but firm team members with various qualities supplemented by workshops by interesting guest lecturers.

You are the pivotal point of our learning community, so you can become an artist who is in a position to create opportunities and possibilities.

If Dutch is not your native language and you have a non-Dutch diploma, you must pass the ‘State Exams Dutch as a Second Language (NT2)’ at level 2 before starting the programme. If you are not up to this level, you can follow a course in Dutch as a second language (NT2).

If it is the first time you are enrolling in a bachelor's degree programme, then you may be eligible to pay only half of the statutory tuition fees for the first year when you are an EU-citizen.

First year

In the first year you get acquainted with various art disciplines and general theory and a study trip to Berlin is on the programme. You follow classes in the theory of art and artistic research and you work on your technical skills in video and photography, performance, spatial and plastic design and  painting. You do that in our well-equipped workplaces and studios. Apart from that, you learn to develop your own ideas. In the second semester you do research yourself, you get research assignments.

Second year and later

In the second year you share a workspace of your own with a couple of fellow students. The final years you work in your own studio. You then have no classes anymore, but conduct projects on your own and in small groups. That can be with students of the other disciplines or from academies and universities in the Netherlands, Belgium or Germany.
