Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD) (French: Haute École d'art et de Design Genève) is a European art and design school founded in 2006, and belonging to the network of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Western Switzerland.[2]
HEAD was formed in 2006 from the merger of two older Swiss art schools, the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, and the Haute École d'Arts Appliqués.[2][1] The École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts was founded in 1748 by the Conseil des Deux-Cents under the name École de Dessein. The Haute École d'Arts Appliqués was founded on October 4, 1869 under the name l’École d’Art Appliqué à l’Industrie.'
The school offers coursework at the Bachelors and Masters levels.[3] Areas of study include Visual Arts, Cinema, Interior Design, Graphic Design, Fashion and Accessory Design, and Media Design.[3][4] However the school is best known for their fashion programs.[1] Since 2017, the campus occupies more than 16,000 m2 in area.[1]
