Programme for exchange students

The Visual Design programme on campus Ghent offers a professionally oriented BA degree focussing on various design disciplines: graphic design, advertising design, digital design, storyboard and illustration.  Exchange students are welcome to join the programme in 2BA (first semester, second semester or a full year). The study progress at your home university and the quality of your portfolio will determine whether you can join the classes in 2BA.  

The design studio in one of the abovementioned disciplines will be the main part of your study programme at LUCA School of Arts. Additionally, you can opt for drawing classes, a limited selection of English taught practical courses and Dutch classes (off campus). A welcome week with introductions to Flemish historical and contemporary art, the city of Gent and the campus is organised at the start of each semester.  

We can offer you an exchange programme of 30 ECTS credits. Detailed information about the offered course units can be found via http://onderwijsaanbod.luca-arts.be/opleidingen/e/CQ_52897887.htm
