KABK is in the process of designing and implementing a new educational vision. We aim to better meet the demand for enabling more individual learning routes and to strengthen the focus on interdisciplinary collaboration as a necessary part of artistic professional practice. With effect from the 2024–2025 academic year, a renewal of academy-wide education was initiated.
