After completing the accelerated combined bachelor’s-master’s route in Education in Arts, you’ll be awarded two official degrees:
Both programmes are registered in the RIO (Register of Institutions and Programmes). These titles will also appear on your degree certificates.
As a graduate, you will be both an artistically skilled professional and someone who can make the world of art and culture accessible to diverse audiences in different settings. You will have the knowledge, experience and research skills to take your professional arts-education practice to a higher level and keep developing it throughout your career. Your research project marks the start of a lifelong learning process: a way of thinking and working that will continue to inspire you and help you grow professionally.
With both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree, you will have access to a wide range of career opportunities. You can work as an art or artist educator, both within and outside formal education – for example, at secondary schools, vocational colleges (MBO), universities of applied sciences (HBO), or in extracurricular arts education such as art centres and educational departments of cultural institutions.
Within education, you can work in primary education, special education, the first and second stages of secondary education (VO, VMBO, VHO), and pre-university education. Possible roles include: teacher of visual arts, CKV teacher, teacher of art history, or general arts teacher of media design or drawing. As a qualified teacher of Fine Art and Design in Education, you will also be authorised to teach at vocational (MBO) and higher professional (HBO) levels. Your degree grants you a broad teaching qualification.
Your degree will also open doors to the wider arts-education sector, where you can take on policy-making, coordinating, or hands-on roles in institutions such as museums, cultural organisations, artist initiatives, festivals and online platforms.
