Overview
Photography is a wide field with multiple possibilities for image-making, meaning-making and sharing the stories of our worlds. For you to develop and maintain your independent practice in this ever-shapeshifting field, our four-year study programme will help you to define your specific interests and solidify your original yet informed photographic voice.
Collective learning is at the core of the Photography department at KABK. Students and teachers all engage through active participation and peer-to-peer learning. You will work with peers from different international backgrounds, and this diversity of cultures will enrich your artistic, personal and professional growth.
Photography is a form of infrastructure that helps us to navigate the world. You might choose to use it to tell a story entangled with a lived reality, or as a starting point for a critical inquiry into contemporary visual culture. Whichever path you choose — we expect a strong engagement with the world, a desire for impact, and willingness to investigate appropriate techniques, methodologies, and discourses.
By the time of graduation, you will direct your work and recognise your local, international, and digital audiences. You’ll be equipped with all the professional tools to position your own practice in the contemporary photography field, and beyond.

Programme Structure
In Year 1 you will work on a variety of short-term assignments where the aim is to provide you with a theoretical and conceptual framework and the technical skills to start positioning yourself within the field of photography.
In Year 2, you will further define your position within a wide photographic practice through longer-term projects and a field trip abroad, resulting in forming a collective with your peers.
In Years 3 and 4 the department will progressively provide you with more freedom to choose the track of your education. Year 3 will be marked by such key events as your collective exhibition outside of the academy’s walls and an internship with an established artist or organisation of your choice.
In Year 4, next to working on your Graduation project, you will find a commissioner to strengthen your collaboration skills and write a Research Paper that will tie-in various facets of your study under a theoretical umbrella.
