If you wish to work in the field of visual arts, Iuav offers a method and a study plan that is one of its kind in Italy, based on the constant interplay of theory and practice.

The three-year Undergraduate Degree Programme in Multimedia Arts will bring students in contact with coordinated technical skills and techniques within the expressive languages of the visual arts, multimedia, and various other forms of art. Workshops — held by acclaimed Italian and international professionals and artists — intend to stimulate the creation of the students’ first personal or collective work. Students will have access to dedicated and equipped spaces, as well as to support labs (photographic, multimedia and pattern making) for any necessary material to complete their projects.

Iuav has many active collaborations, with institutions such as: La Biennale di Venezia, La Triennale di Torino, Palazzo Grassi, Fondazione Spinola Banna, Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Castello di Rivoli and international art exhibitions such as Documenta e Manifesta.
