LUCA School of Arts is a creative hub for nearly 5,000 people: more than 4,000 students and 800 colleagues. To them, LUCA offers an educational and research environment to further develop their creative talent. We do this through higher education programmes in the broad field of the arts, and through artistic research. LUCA has campuses in four cities: Ghent, Brussels, Leuven and Genk.
For LUCA, KU Leuven is the research environment in which artistic research is embedded. An associated Faculty of Arts was established within the Human Sciences group, of which the researchers in the arts are members. Almost 150 lecturers, postdocs, doctoral students and project staff have been appointed with artistic research assignments in audiovisual arts, visual arts, design, music, drama, etc.
