Gerrit Rietveld Academie

The Gerrit Rietveld Academie is a university of applied sciences for Fine Arts and Design. We offer two bachelor degree programmes and four master degree programmes. Within the bachelor we offer a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Design. Within these two programmes, there are various specialisations. Following a general first year, called the Foundation Year, the student chooses one of these specialisations. This is followed by three years of in-depth study within the specialisation. The Rietveld Academie also offers a part-time programme, in which the Foundation Year lasts for two years, followed by three years of in-depth study. If, after earning your diploma, you wish to pursue a Master’s degree, you can apply at the Sandberg Institute. We currently offer four Master’s degrees: Master of Fine Arts, Master of Applied Arts, Master of Design, and Master of Interior Architecture.
