Fine Arts & Design

Department Bildende Künste & Gestaltung | © Nikolaus Brade

At the Department of Fine Arts & Design in Salzburg, students develop an artistic and creative voice through the study of craft, design, art and material culture. Students will analyse the concepts of image, object, space and media, with theory and pedagogy courses rounding off their teacher training in either Art and Visual Practice oder Technology and Design. Graduates are qualified to teach in schools or extra-curricular settings.

    As part of the “Garden of the Future” design project, a previously unused paved area at Alpenstraße 75 was transformed into a versatile outdoor space. The goal was to create a place for learning, teaching, recreation, and socializing outdoors. Based on research into historical gardens, urban agriculture, mobile green spaces, and sustainable concepts, an overall plan featuring various zones of use was developed.

    Jour Fixe: Martin Murer
    What happens when artifacts are not the result, but rather the beginning of a creative process? Martin Murer is searching for answers. Starting in the 2026–27 winter semester, he will be a university professor of technology and design education in the Department of Fine Arts and Design. In his work, he combines creative practice, technology, and research with questions of learning, understanding, and teaching.
