The Art-design specialization of the Craftsmanship BA programme at Rippl-Rónai Institute approaches design from the direction of fine art and its non-traditional aspects are the primary focus. Its uniqueness comes from a combination of two disciplines. We can call it ‘applied fine arts’, because it applies a fine art perspective in designing unique or small-scale objects. The main features of our education programme include workshop work, individual and group projects, a more independent choice of topics and feasibility. Our education provides knowledge in the areas of materials, techniques and technologies, putting a large emphasis on experiential knowledge and its utilization in projects and finally in their presentation, and it allows students to be aware of the background of the main design processes, to know and be able to use the different information acquisition platforms. The planned curriculum will provide the knowledge and techniques necessary for the application of new media, enabling students to respond appropriately to contemporary aesthetic and practical demands. The aim of our education programme is to train craftspeople skilled in creating objects who are aware of current social needs and trends. They understand the societal, cultural, social and ecological aspects of design and are able to design and create unique, unconventional, small-scale products. Graduates will have sufficient knowledge to continue their studies at master's level in national or foreign institutions. 

For applicants

What can you learn in this programme and what is the aim of the education? In this educational programme the functional object design does not serve the purposes of mass production, but contributes to students gaining skills in designing unique tasks with a complex approach. For example, when designing street furniture in 3D, considering environmental awareness, sustainability and social environment plays an important role. The modernity of our training lies in reinterpreting the craft traditions with the help of digital technology and contemporary object design techniques and in integrating the socio-ecological and cultural aspects of design into our individual and group projects through digital technology and contemporary object-making processes, and incorporating the social ecological and cultural aspects of design into individual and group projects.
