The ArtScience programme of Royal Academy of Art, The Hague offers a unique and practice-based creative programme that teaches you to research and conceive new art forms. The programme contains theoretical courses, workshops, research projects, individual projects and individual coaching. You will learn how to connect and transcend various art forms and areas of expertise, and are invited to re-invent art, as is needed in this century.
A defining aspect of our curriculum is that you will have a considerable amount of freedom in choosing programme components while receiving intensive supervision by a coach whom you personally choose in the second year.
The Bachelor’s programme aims to guide students towards an ‘auto-disciplinary’ art practice. Students acquire the skills, research methods and conceptual background that they need in order to develop their personal artistic work within the broad field of the arts and sciences.
The courses provide a theoretical and practical foundation, but the core of the education offered at ArtScience consists of practice-based research. Knowledge is acquired through the conception and realisation of projects. In these projects, students work together with their teachers and primarily with other students, thereby learning to collaborate and organise projects on various scales.
The open curriculum and the individual study tracks help students to develop a strong sense of independence, self-organisation and critical thinking during their studies. Because many study projects are presented outside the walls of the school, students are expected to be active and well connected in the field at the time of their final examinations.
The Bachelor ArtScience educates you to work between science and the arts to create new forms of art. Our alumni operate where art, culture and science intersect. They work as independent artists or in a team on digital projects and performances for festivals, theatres or online platforms. They publish books, software and musical recordings and organise festivals, concerts and exhibitions.
