Curriculum
Our degree flows the Photographic Image, Visual Design, and Moving Image seamlessly together. We train our students to be strong visual storytellers who can tell stories in an innovative experimental and hybrid way at the intersection between the arts and the creative industry.
We experiment with analogue alternative processes and combine these with the latest computational imaging techniques, 3D visualizations, film and creative coding. Thanks to the strongly developed curriculum, which bears witness to an interaction between practice, theory and research, you will develop your own image strategy and working method as an innovative visual storyteller.
As a student, you will be intensively and individually coached by a strong team of lecturers and international visiting professors to develop unique authorship. We train our students to become independent, artistic and innovative photographers, media designers, or art directors ready for the future.
As an Erasmus exchange student you can apply for the Autumn Semester starting from 3rd bachelor level.
A detailed program and course selection is available upon request with the international contact person as mentioned below. Depending on your year of study and competences, a personal proposal is made.

From the very start I had a good feeling of the vision and logic of this degree. I admit that in the beginning I needed to search for my own style, methods and work rythm in the different courses and workshops. Thanks to the support and coaching of the lecturers I finished an inspiring first project. I am currently studying in my 3rd bachelor year and I am more self confident in making decisions and showing the things I wish to.

At LUCA we attach great importance to the quality of our courses
If the basic principle of the policy plan means that 'quality is our driving force', and that every aspect of the policy can be tested against this, then LUCA undeniably wants to develop and nurture a strong quality culture: a culture that leaves based on trust in people with talent and expertise, and which is aimed at valuing, inspiring and improving.
The formal quality framework for training within LUCA was named KOPERA, which stands for: Critically Analyzing the Quality of Training with Peers in Own Direction.
For KOPERA, LUCA starts from a vision of quality care that is based on trust and aimed at valuing, inspiring and improving.
During the six-year KOPERA cycle, each training course receives a panel of critical friends who examine the implementation of the quality characteristics and examine how the training contributes to the general LUCA policy.
The final element of KOPERA is the ultimate assurance of training quality. The key question is: "Does the program have a good quality culture that follows the 'plan-do-check-act' circle?"
LUCA publishes a quality sheet for each course. You can find this on the Education Quality page.
