Message from the Dean
Katerina Thomas, PhD
The programs of the School prepare students for a career in the arts, by providing knowledge in these fields and exposure to what is happening elsewhere in our fast globalizing art environment. It is one of the School’s principal aims to prepare students for graduate school, an effort that has been rewarded by success, judging by our students’ acceptance to prestigious academic institutions internationally. Our curricula are combined with a broad spectrum of activities, all embraced by our annual Arts Festival. The School boasts a highly qualified faculty and makes available a range of resources that include an extensive art collection.
