Programme for exchange students
The Visual Design programme on campus Ghent offers a professionally oriented BA degree focussing on various design disciplines: graphic design, advertising design, digital design, storyboard and illustration. Exchange students are welcome to join the programme in 2BA (first semester, second semester or a full year). The study progress at your home university and the quality of your portfolio will determine whether you can join the classes in 2BA.
The design studio in one of the abovementioned disciplines will be the main part of your study programme at LUCA School of Arts. Additionally, you can opt for drawing classes, a limited selection of English taught practical courses and Dutch classes (off campus). A welcome week with introductions to Flemish historical and contemporary art, the city of Gent and the campus is organised at the start of each semester.
We can offer you an exchange programme of 30 ECTS credits. Detailed information about the offered course units can be found via http://onderwijsaanbod.luca-arts.be/opleidingen/e/CQ_52897887.htm
What do you need?
A good command of English (level B2) is required to make the most of your stay with us. Campus Ghent does not own student accommodation. Therefore, you will have to rent a room on the private housing market for the duration of your stay.

At LUCA we attach great importance to the quality of our courses
If the basic principle of the policy plan means that 'quality is our driving force', and that every aspect of the policy can be tested against this, then LUCA undeniably wants to develop and nurture a strong quality culture: a culture that leaves based on trust in people with talent and expertise, and which is aimed at valuing, inspiring and improving.
The formal quality framework for training within LUCA was named KOPERA, which stands for: Critically Analyzing the Quality of Training with Peers in Own Direction.
For KOPERA, LUCA starts from a vision of quality care that is based on trust and aimed at valuing, inspiring and improving.
During the six-year KOPERA cycle, each training course receives a panel of critical friends who examine the implementation of the quality characteristics and examine how the training contributes to the general LUCA policy.
The final element of KOPERA is the ultimate assurance of training quality. The key question is: "Does the program have a good quality culture that follows the 'plan-do-check-act' circle?"
LUCA publishes a quality sheet for each course. You can find this on the Education Quality page.
