When choosing the Film programme taught at our campus Sint-Lukas Brussels, you'll learn how to make your own films with a great emphasis on finding your unique style.
Curriculum
Studying abroad is stepping out of your comfort zone and taking steps on to the path of self-creation. It means discovering and reflecting on who you are, as a person and as an artist. Living and studying abroad is therefore recommended for every artist. Meet people and use art to communicate beyond borders of any kind, and use that to reach into the world.
Brussels is a melting pot of languages, cultures and religions, is a complex but fascinating European metropolis and it is Luca School of Arts home base. Audio-visual Arts in Luca Brussels consists of Film, Animation Film and the Erasmus Mundus Programme Doc Nomads. As our campus in Brussels also houses Visual Arts (Photography, Fine Arts, Graphic Storytelling and Media and Information Design), Interior Design and Construction Technology, this is the perfect place where cross-fertilization between different media and domains in the arts is made possible. Luca School of Arts Brussels is therefore the place to be for future exchange students.
Programme for exchange students: The individuality of the student is central to our film education. We want to train idiosyncratic filmmakers who make films that communicate about the world of today with an open and committed eye. No distinction is made here between narrative fiction, documentary or experimental work. Each film is an autonomous artistic work that, both formally and substantively, is critical, inspired and in dialogue with the current art field and the professional, international arthouse and quality film.
As an exchange student, you will study within the 3rd bachelor. We therefore expect students to have acquired all the basic components of film making (script writing, film-technical skills and artistic insight, etc). Central is the own signature that the filmmaker learns to develop as an author through text and image. We aim to enable students to work in team and to become a filmmaker who is able to delegate and communicate the aspects of filmmaking within his/her film crew. We want students to be able to create a film that meets professional standards, both technically and creatively. Our experienced staff is looking forward to welcome you in Brussels.

Quality is LUCA’s driving force
If the fundamental attitude of the policy plan implies that ‘quality is our driving force’, and that every aspect of the policy can be assessed against this, then LUCA undeniably aims to build and nurture a strong quality culture: a culture based on trust in people with talent and expertise, and aimed at valuing, inspiring, and improving.
The formal quality framework for study programmes within LUCA was named KOPERA, which stands for: Critically Analyzing the Quality of Study Programmes with Peers in Self-Direction.
For KOPERA, LUCA starts from a vision of quality assurance that stems from trust and is aimed at valuing, inspiring, and improving.
During the six-year KOPERA cycle, each study programme receives a panel of critical friends who review the implementation of the quality characteristics and examine how the programme contributes to the general LUCA policy.
The culmination of KOPERA is the ultimate assurance of programme quality. The core question here is: "does the study program have a good quality culture that follows the ‘plan-do-check-act’ cycle?"
LUCA publishes a quality sheet for every study program. You can find this on the 'Quality Assurance' page.
