The School of Visual Arts at Beaconhouse National University welcomes new forms of visual experience which require experimental and lateral thinking. Together with ScAD (the School of Architecture and Design), we encourage a multi-disciplinary approach as a way to explore the connections between art and different branches of knowledge in the humanities and sciences. Our rigorous curriculum focuses on the development of each student, ensuring a strong skill and intellectual base. We strive to make certain that students are visually articulate and self-motivated with the confidence to express their ideas. Providing a supportive atmosphere where promising individuals can achieve their creative potential is a matter of priority for the School.

Studio teaching at School of Visual Arts is supported by well-equipped audiovisual labs, broadband internet access, a sculpture workshop, photography studios, a film library and other facilities.

In a continually changing world, SVA’s academic approach takes note of emerging professions in the art, design and communication fields. These include careers as studio practitioners, teachers, web designers, television set designers, exhibition and environmental designers, publication designers, book illustrators, art historians, curators, researchers, video artists, filmmakers, graphic designers, design entrepreneurs and art conservationists.

Besides preparing graduates for the competitive labour market, higher education has an essential role in creating a cultured and intelligent society. The School of Visual Arts is taking the initiative in studying the growing complexities of our visual culture in and beyond South Asia. In the twenty-first century, the creative arts are a vital catalyst for intercultural dialogue and pluralism. At SVA, we celebrate tolerance and diversity and promote these through scholarly discourse.
