Network and Cooperations

Practical projects allow students to pursue their own curiosity and explore ecological, economic or social phenomena through drawing. The exchange with partners from culture, science and the media promotes a deep understanding of the social relevance of illustration.

Partner universities

We invite second-year students to spend a spring semester at one of our partner universities and experience illustration from a new perspective. We also welcome visiting students to Lucerne to complete the second year of the BA Illustration programme. The language of instruction is German, but we also offer introductions and tutorials in English, so knowledge of German is helpful but not essential.

Partnerships and Projects

The Illustration degree programme regularly initiates cooperative projects such as symposia and workshops in collaboration with external partners. These joint projects promote the exchange between students, experts and the public and offer valuable insights into current topics and perspectives of visual narration and illustration.
