Fine Arts School in Altea The Faculty of Fine Arts in Altea was designed to meet the challenges of providing an artistic education within a contemporary context, in which artistic practices are constantly reformulated. This commitment is supported by human and material resources and educational planning which provide our students with the technical and conceptual tools for them to be able to deal with a scenario in which visual arts encompass an increasingly wider range of professional and cultural practices. The facilities of the school include: Computer Class I Computer Class II Lecture Classroom I Lecture Classroom II Lecture Classroom III Sculture Project Workspace Plastic Workspace Installations Workspace Metal Workspace Wood Workspace Stone Workspace Modeling Workspace Foundry Workspace Ceramics Workspace Image Workspace Photography and Video Studio Photography Laboratory Painting Workspace I Painting Workspace II Painting Project Workspace Painting and New Media Workspace Illustration Workshop Drawing Workspace I Drawing Workspace II Drawing Project Workspace Etching Workspace I Etching Workspace II Dance and drama Workshop Library
Fine Arts Degree The current curriculum for our degree in Fine Arts responds to new educational needs through the appreciation of tradition, the importance of a contemporary technical and conceptual education and especially through its integration within a context defined by media interdisciplinarity. To achieve this, the curriculum includes two distinct programs: Fine Arts and Visual Arts and Design. These objectives are met, on the one hand, through the design of our facilities, which primarily considers accessibility for students and offers them a wide range of specific Workspaces, and on the other hand, through our teaching and technical staff, who are committed to an active and personalized attention towards our students.

Master in interdisciplinary art projects. In the context of the transformation of the university studies into the European space for higher education the former PhD programs must be transform in a Master structure. In that path, Altea Fine Arts School is actually working in a new Master in interdisciplinary art projects to be offered as of September 2013. The University and the School want to take this task as an opportunity to create a curriculum that responds to the new challenge of contemporary art and culture. In that sense the school is searching for giving an international dimension to the program through an exchange program with other Universities. The master will allow the students to develop interdisciplinary artistic projects in contact with different learning contexts. The students who attend the whole program will be UMH students and they will get the Master certification from the UMH. Some of these students will be able to attend a semester at partner Universities. The students from partner Universities will be able to attend and specific summer workshop.
