The studies plan subjects are Visual culture, Public art and participatory design, Landscape design, Landscape aesthetics, Phenomenology of ecosystems, Expression issues of complex societies.
Students will have the opportunity to analyse and criticise the western conceptions of nature and those spread in the rest of the world.

Climate change, biodiversity, and some of the most critical topics globally are at the programme's core. From public and participatory art involving the people's plural knowledge to design practices, the environment and society are the focus of the didactic project. The programme concludes with an internship and the presentation of an artistic, critical or curatorial Final project.
