Departments_And_Information_About_The_Departments - Accademia Belle Arti Bologna

The Fine Arts Academy of Bologna is an
institution independent of the University of
Bologna, and belongs to the Italian national
system of Higher Artistic and Musical
Education.
Studying at the Fine Arts Academy of
Bologna, as in the other Italian Fine Arts
Academies, has its own specificity as
compared with University studies: making
art theory and practice coincide in a single
operative moment, providing workshops
alongside theoretical courses within the
training pathways.
At present the organisation of the courses is
based on the new structure envisaged by
the reform law n° 508 passed on 21st
December 1999, according to which the
studies are articulated into 3 years (socalled
‘first level’ academic diploma) + 2
(‘second level’ academic diploma).
The diploma consequent to the first three
years of study is legally certified to be
equivalent to the first level degree, with the
entitlement to access the second level
degrees at Universities or Academies that
provide them. The subsequent two years of
specialist study can be accessed by means
of the diploma obtained with the old diploma
system, and with diplomas or first level
degrees also from other Universities or
Academies.
