Art Education

We teach you the basic principles of art, design, media, materiality and communication; you develop your own artistic and creative practice.

This degree programme:

  • is the only one of its kind in Switzerland, combining creative, artistic production with academic reflection: while you develop your artistic and creative practice at HKB, the University of Bern supplies the history of art and art theory components of the programme.

  • provides the expert contextual knowledge required for teaching art and design. This is professionalised in the MA in Art Education.

  • gives you your first experience of teaching in a range of professional fields – in collaboration with our school and museum partners.

  • is not a professional teaching qualification in itself, but prepares you for the follow-on MA in Art Education.
