Institute of Fine Arts and Cultural Studies

The Institute of Fine Arts and Cultural Studies offers the Fine Arts diploma programme the artistic disciplines 
Sculpture - transmedial Space
Experimental Art
Painting & Graphic Art
Artistic Photography
Plastic and Environment 
and the branch of study Applied Studies of Culture and Art 
as well as the study programmes 
Sculptural Concetions /Ceramics  bachelor and master courses 
textile.art.design bachelor and master courses as well as
Bachelor Programme Cultural Studies.

All curricula focus on topical fields of fine arts. In keeping with the mission statement of Kunstuniversität Linz, intermedial perspectives are given special attention. The profile of the Institute derives from the combination of cultural study and research with artistic practice. This linkage of art and science is at the centre of all teaching activities and informs the development and interpretation of both art and research at the Institute. The curricula, too, are characterised by a project- and audience-oriented working style as well as by the free choice of work focuses.

Students of the Fine Arts diploma programmes may either decide for one of the three artistic disciplines or, during the course of their studies, are free to independently select their work focus from the offerings of all disciplines.

Students of the Sculptural Conceptions / Ceramics and textile.art.design curricula are trained in material-oriented skills in connection with the development, implementation and reflection of projects.

Conversely, the scientific disciplines of Cultural Studies as well as of Art History and Art Theory, Artistic Knowledge Practices and Philosophy emphasise fundamental theoretical work.
