Both bachelor’s programmes are developed and taught in collaboration with the University of Northampton.

Bachelor Visual Communication
The Bachelor Visual Communication builds on your education at SintLucas and offers you the chance to broaden your knowledge. There is room to develop further in Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography and/or Media Production (Audiovisual). During this bachelor’s programme, you will be given various assignments of a commercial, social or autonomous nature. What exactly you will make is determined by research, leaving plenty of room for your own interests and expertise. In the final part of the bachelor, you write your own assignment in which you not only create, but also reflect by writing a critical report. You can follow this bachelor’s programme on the MBO programmes: Media Design, Photography, AV Specialist and Spatial Design.
3D Design training
During the bachelor’s programme of the 3D designer programme, you will create applied spatial designs. These designs arise from current opportunities or problems in society. In this way, social involvement, economic responsibility and technical insight are perfectly combined with your creative vision. The 3D designer programme focuses on spatial design rather than a single specialisation. Think of projects in the fields of: interior design, product design, exhibition design, event design and designs for public spaces. In the final part of the bachelor, you write your own assignment. In this, you create and reflect by writing a critical report. You can follow this bachelor’s programme on the intermediate vocational programme Spatial Design.
What does the programme offer?
In the undergraduate programme at SintLucas, you will have the opportunity and challenge to work independently a lot, think critically, experiment and incorporate your personal vision into the designs. Are you a student who…
- is looking for more challenge and depth in the profession?
- wants to develop a hbo working and thinking level?
- is good at English, speaking and writing, or is willing to work on this?
- likes to study design, trends and history of the creative field, among other things?
Then this bachelor’s programme is for you.

To be admitted to one of the two Bachelor’s programmes, you will have an interview in which you show your portfolio. You will also explain why you want to follow this programme. In addition, your English must be up to standard (Cambridge Score 169 or higher) and you have to successfully complete the Optional Unit Preparation for Higher Professional Art Education.

This initiative focuses on supporting people who have fallen into economic homelessness due to major life events.
