The approach of the Academy of Visual Arts shapes responses to the evolving needs of the modern world. By fostering independent thinking, practicing diversity, and motivating a critical-ethical approach in design, we prepare students not only for current challenges but also for the unpredictable demands of the future. This paradigm shift is not merely necessary; it is crucial for nurturing the next generation of artists and designers who will shape our world.

For over 60 years, our progressive teaching methods have been successful: AVA graduates are leaders in the arts and communication fields, engaging creatively and critically with the complexities of 21st-century life.

The degree, “State Examined Communication Designer” is equivalent to a “B.A. Fine Arts,” and comparable to the diploma awarded prior to the Bologna Process and surpasses the standard Bachelor’s level in terms of the breadth of competencies acquired. This degree allows students to progress to Master´s studies should they wish.

Graduates also benefit from the broad network the Academy has in the international labor market, especially in Germany and other European countries such as Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland. Already during their final year, 86% of our students are anchored in an employment situation.
