Academische Bachelor / Exchange Programme

When choosing the Fine Arts degree programme taught at our campus Sint-Lukas Brussels, you are free to develop within the various disciplines of contemporary art: in addition to painting, sculpture, graphics, drawing, and mixed media, there is also space for a free, interdisciplinary or project-based approach.

Curriculum

The Fine Art specialization of Sint-Lukas Brussels offers a wide range of artistic possibilities. As a student you are free to develop within the various disciplines of contemporary art: in addition to painting, sculpture, graphics, drawing, and mixed media, there is also space for a free, interdisciplinary or project-based approach.

Programme for exchange students: During the exchange period you will be guided by a diverse team of teachers with expertise in painting, graphics, sculpture, mixed media, video, film, photography and drawing. As a student you can use silkscreen and etching facilities, the metal and wood workshops and video and audio editing suites.

In the Fine Arts programme you will participate in a wide range of collective events: workshops, studio visits by artists or other professionals from the artistic field, exhibition visits and other excursions. You also follow a number of theory courses, such as art history, philosophy and art theory. In this way you enrich your knowledge of modern and contemporary art and you learn to reflect critically on the position of the artist and the social context of art. Theory and practice are considered as an integrated whole.

    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.
