Mission statement
LUCA School of Arts (LUCA) is a multidisciplinary educational and research environment in which creative talent can develop and develop artistically, technically and in its execution. LUCA promotes the practice of art and creative design as well as the development of innovative insights.
LUCA offers an integrated education in which practice, research and reflection go hand in hand, the space for choices, connections and specializations is offered and stimulated, and an attitude of lifelong learning is envisaged.
Thanks to this training, students can fully develop their ambitions to engage in a creative society, each with their own profile.
Through strong networks, both with partners from the educational field and with leading cultural organizations and actors from the profit and non-profit sector, students and lecturers have the opportunity to disseminate their teaching and research activity from a broad perspective on an international platform.
Respect for authenticity, diversity and integrity are the basic principles that inspire the university college in its view of people and society.
Inspired by the valuable and versatile Christian legacy, LUCA wants to carry out its mission in dialogue with and at the service of an open, sustainable, pluralistic and culturally diverse society.
