Choosing a programme can be difficult. That’s why we’re here to help you find the one that suits you best. Is art education the right study for you? Do you have any questions about a specific programme? Or do you want to find out what life is like at our academies? On this page you’ll find general information about ArtEZ programmes in the arts, so that you can make the right choice for you.
A bachelor’s or master’s programme at a university of applied sciences in the arts helps you follow your own path – not someone else’s. You’ll learn to think critically and objectively while gaining the tools to create real change. Graduating from ArtEZ doesn’t just open doors in the performing arts and creative industries, but also politics, the media, the cultural sector, science and many other fields. There are countless ways to make a positive impact on society. That’s why our graduates quickly find work.
Creating something new means being courageous and true to yourself. Your music may break traditions, your dance may take on new urgency, and your art and design may be bolder than ever. Every organisation needs people who bring fresh ideas and new perspectives.
As an arts student, you’ll learn to position yourself as a maker, artist and creative in relation to history and today’s society. This approach is unique to art education. You’ll grow as a maker, artis and thinker, while developing innovative ideas for both art and society.
'Art education starts from the great unknown. That’s the great thing about these programmes. It’s the process that counts, not the outcome. How do you learn to research, how do you learn to pursue new avenues, how do you learn to collaborate? Curiosity is the most important skill you can learn. And that’s exactly what art education teaches you.' - Robbert Dijkgraaf, former Dutch Minister of Education, Culture and Science, in the Velon Congres 2023 podcast
