The Department of Plastic Arts offers a specialist program that combines traditional techniques with innovative approaches to making art. The Plastic Arts Program is built on the triadic bond between technical training, critical thinking and historical perspective, where students are encouraged to develop their artistic practice as part of intellectual and critical enquiry.

First of all, applied and theoretical education and the basic concepts of art are conveyed to the students and in the following years, advanced workshops and theoretical studies are added to the basic education. Among the applied courses are: painting, sculpture, ceramics, glass, printmaking, computer-aided design, basic workshop courses and paper workshop.
