<<FACULTY OF FINE ARTS>>
History
The School of Fine Arts was established as a faculty at the University of Barcelona in 1978
when for the first time a five-year Fine Arts degree course was offered, with majors in
Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Printmaking, Design and Conservation and Restoration.
Then in 1996, in accordance with the University Reform Law (LRU), a new four-year course
was launched and the revised curriculum included Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Printmaking, Photography, Design, Conservation and Restoration and Art Education.
While the various specializations may have changed, the main fields of study and specific
competences have continued to be available, along with courses in the various associated
disciplines. However, whereas previously the generic degree in Fine Arts covered all options, now with the advent of the European Higher Education Area the UB has diversified
its course offering to address specific professional opportunities arising in the marketplace. The Faculty’s current course offering includes three degree qualifications, as recommended in the relevant White Paper and in line with previous agreements made at
various meetings of the Faculty of Fine Arts Conference of Deans.
