Description

Behind the historic facade, the academy is characterized by a cool internal atmosphere but receives mixed reviews, with critics pointing to outdated facilities and a very traditional approach to teaching. Those looking to study here should note that regular lectures are in Portuguese, even for the Erasmus student cohort. For those seeking practical skills, the school organizes summer courses in painting, sculpture, drawing, and digital art, alongside public events like guest lectures.
