Design School Launches CPD Courses in Comic History, Future Studies, Fashion Theory and Much More
Are you interested in the history of Hollywood cinema or photography? Have you always wondered how advertising and media influence us? Perhaps you want to learn more about women’s contribution to world art. In September, the HSE Art and Design School is launching 72 courses in a variety of fields—including some quite unexpected ones—that will provide students with new systemic knowledge and immerse them in the theory of art and design. The courses start on September 4, but applications to join will remain open until September 10.
Courses on the history and theory of design and art are an important part of bachelor’s and master’s programmes at Art and Design School. Now, they are being implemented in continuing professional development programmes.
These short courses on the history of art and design will teach participants about how design has developed, different art styles, and the people and trends that have changed history and remain relevant today. They are taught by art experts, curators, and theorists working in a wide range of cultural fields.

The range of subjects to choose from is huge. They include, for example, the history of graphic design, the history of architectural styles, aesthetics, future studies, cinema (Soviet, Asian, Hollywood, documentary, experimental), interior design, music, the history of comics and much, much more.
The programmes will conclude with a small creative research project that will allow students to explore in depth the topics that interest them most.
The courses will take place online during the day and in evenings. They are conducted in a face-to-face format that combines lectures and seminars. Students can discuss topics that are important to them with the teachers and exchange ideas with their peers.
The registration deadline is September 10.
