VACD program provides an ideal setting in which students can engage in critical problem solving practices through research and application of the conventional teaching methods. By stressing the importance of projects and deadlines rather than traditional homework and tests we provide students with less repetitive and therefore, a more intellectual experience and better prepare them for their future career. The Visual Arts and Communication Design program strives to provide students with a unique and progressive environment in which they can excel in their ambition and creativity. The student body is comprised of artists working in graphic design, photography, painting, installation, performance, video and new media. The mission of the VACD program is to provide the students with an in-depth understanding of aesthetics and its application to the field of Visual Art and Visual Communication Design. 

However, our efforts go beyond the sole principle of understanding and application of the visual arts. Our aim is to bring about the integration of visual arts with other creative output such as sound design, new media output and temporally based works implemented through the diversified building blocks of the VACD curriculum. The aim of the study program is to prepare the students for active involvement in the creative industry by helping them create portfolios which showcase their work. All students will create their portfolios upon the completion of their studies at VACD.
