After graduation
Further education
The Bachelor Fine Arts enables you to continue studying at a master and even a PhD level. A typical master programme that follows the Bachelor Fine Arts is the Master Artistic Research at the KABK. More master programmes, relevant to fine art, are under development. The University of the Arts, The Hague is one of the few art schools in the Netherlands that offers a PhD route.
Many of our graduates have continued on to attend postgraduate art schools in the Netherlands, such as De Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten and De Ateliers in Amsterdam, and/or have excelled at master programmes in Europe and abroad, e.g. Glasgow School of Art.
Professional Perspective
As a visual artist, you will make art to give meaning and significance to life, thereby fulfilling an important role in society. You reveal hidden qualities, offer critical comments on social phenomena and are often actively involved, either concretely or theoretically. You do this through tangible objects as well as thought processes, performances, publications, lectures and artistic interventions in political, economic and social settings. In addition to creating work it is important for you to successfully stake your claim in artistic and social environments as a researcher, producer, networker, organiser and manager – all at the same time.
