Umeå Academy of Fine Arts is a part of the Arts Campus. Since 2012 you can find us in new, modern premises, beautifully located by Umeå river. As a student you will get a good insight to and understanding for the role of art in today's society and how it has evolved over time. Moreover, you practise your ability to analyze, debate and write about art from a critical point of view. Focus is on your own individual artistic expression. In the master programme you deepen these abilities and you devote even more time to your own artistic work. We have every year a large number of applicants of which 15-20 stdents are admitted to each programme. In total there are approximately 75 students at the school. Apart from our Bachelor's and Master's programme in Fine Arts we usually offer one or more summer courses each year.
