Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts

What is the content of this degree?

The fundamental aim of the degree in Fine Arts is to train professionals in the visual and plastic artists. This course trains students in techniques and processes in various creative fields and provides an understanding of both classical and contemporary artistic manifestations. Nowadays, however, Fine Arts courses must transcend the traditional concept of artistic creation understood as the relationship between the artist and the work. In addition to promoting students' creativity, the course must involve socialising aspects; the relationship with the environment is an inescapable component of creation and insertion in the workplace has become a key aspect in the training in the final stages of the degree.
