... that we also offer a Double Degree programme?

Double degree? What’s that?

At the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK) it is possible to pursue two bachelor degrees at the same time. Highly motivated Fine Arts students can combine their Bachelor Fine Arts programme with the Bachelor Arts, Media and Society at Leiden University.

Upon successful completion of this four-year trajectory, students are awarded two bachelor's degrees! A higher professional education BA degree (KABK) and a University BA degree (Leiden).

... that professionals with a non-artistic background can do a BA Fine Arts part-time programme?

Part-time Fine Arts, Amalgam programme for professionals interested in embedding artistic thinking and practices in a non-artistic profession

The Fine Arts part-time study is a brand-new educational path where non-artistic and artistic approaches merge together in a trajectory intended for participants who already have established professional and/or life experience. This study is intended to be combined with a part-time job or occupation, with classes two days per week.

... you can also customise your bachelor studies at the KABK!

Customise studies? How?

At the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK) you can curate 20% of your own curriculum. This part of the curriculum is called Individual Study Track (IST). The IST allows you to focus on the discovery and development of your own fascinations and preferences and your personal artistic attitude. IST is an excellent opportunity for you to discover your personal potential and ambitions and customise your studies accordingly. The KABK has a wide offer of IST Labs that accommodate you in your ambitions but you also get the chance to develop your own projects.

... that students work on practical assignments and applied research projects for private companies, non-profit organisations, and government agencies?

Through these partnerships, we seek to expand the opportunities offered to our students to connect with fields outside the academy. Students have the opportunity to collaborate with clients on real-world projects that give them relevant job experiences and prepare them for a successful career in the world of art and design.
