This programme will train you to become a designer of green spaces: of gardens, parks or squares, of recreational areas, play forests or rural stream valleys, but also of green links on industrial estates, of urban green climates and so on. Designing is a creative, investigative and solution-oriented process in which you look for a good combination of aesthetics and functionality, with sustainability as a starting point. As a designer, you give content – identity, inspiration, meaning – to the environment, which rises above the strictly material.

As an interior designer, the whole world is your playground. The built environment in all its aspects, furniture and design objects, are just some of the things an interior designer can use to leave his mark on people's living environment. In addition to the programme in contact education, there is the possibility of following the bachelor's programme in distance learning.

In a world that is changing at lightning speed, the future cannot be predicted. We anticipate things that are in full development. In the professional bachelor digital design & development, or Devine for short, we train students to find their way in the digital world of tomorrow. As a Deviner, you will use design, development and UX research skills to shape online experiences today and in the future. You will become a member of the creative sector: a global, digital, innovative and guiding subculture. The programme also offers an English-language track.

Musical instrument making focuses on the history and structure of musical instruments, for the purpose of building, reconstructing and preserving these fascinating objects. It concentrates mainly on the study and (re)construction of historical instruments, investigating the acoustic possibilities of these 'sound instruments'. Moreover, it does so in the interest of the performance practice of old, but equally of new music.

Our society needs critical, open minds that reshape the world of tomorrow. For creative makers who address the ecological, economic and social challenges within our contemporary society, and devise smart alternatives to them with pleasure and passion. Through a pervasive sense of research and experimentation, Autonomous Design students develop their skills in applied and artistic making practices. In doing so, they work both independently and collaboratively, engaging in an engaged dialogue with all other actors in the web of life.

The graphic design major in the bachelor's programme is built around three study paths, each with its own studio: illustration, printmaking and graphic design. Together, these three study paths represent all the practices that belong to graphic arts in the field. In the master of graphic design, the distinction between the paths disappears.

After an exploratory first bachelor year of graphic design, in second and third bachelor you can choose the printmaking track. Here you will approach graphic practices from the point of view of the visual arts. Three focuses allow you to explore the specific speaking of art and turn it into an individual artistic practice: what printing and reproduction techniques can mean for making art; the relationship of art to mass-media visual culture; publishing as an artistic strategy in making art and artists' books. In the master of graphic design, the distinction between the tracks falls away.

After an exploratory first bachelor's year of graphic design, you can opt for the illustration track in the second and third bachelor. You take a broad view of graphic visual narrativity and focus on developing techniques, research and working methods within the broad cluster of word, image and story. In the master of graphic design, the distinction between the pathways falls away.

After an exploratory first bachelor year of graphic design, you can opt for the graphic design studio in second and third bachelor. This is based on five focuses: visual identity, publication, digital publication, experimental typography and data visualisation. Each time you transcend the classic dichotomy between print (publication, poster, flyer...) and digital (website, application...) you look for the relationship between both in our post-digital world. In the master of graphic design, the distinction between the trajectories falls away.

During your training in textile design, you will become acquainted with age-old crafts as well as contemporary industrial and digital processes. Expertise in weaving, knitting, embroidery, print design... is a breeding ground for innovation and each time places you in relation to your own artistic process.

We very consciously approach fashion as a multifaceted artistic practice. The aim is not to train you to be a designer 'in service of' an existing system, but to challenge and invite you to develop your own and artistic practice, constantly exploring, questioning and pushing the boundaries of the medium.

This advanced bachelor programme equips you with the necessary analytical and synthetic skills to independently and critically assess the landscape, enabling you to develop creative yet well-founded proposals for design, layout, and management.

You are brimming with dynamism and enthusiasm to take interested parties into a world of artistic development and creation? You want to be an important link in the further development of art education and the performing arts landscape in Flanders? Then the educational master's is definitely for you!
