Facilities & Resources

Lecture Rooms & Conference Centre

At AAS we succeed in maintaining a unique balance between theory and practice. Our students on degree programmes are encouraged to think about the context of their work. There are many lectures that support the projects and they run at the same time with them. It’s an amazing mix of practice and theory and we are very proud of it. These lectures take place in specific rooms which is equipped with all the necessary visual aids (projection, screens, TV, DVD player, speakers, interactive blackboards, etc.).

Computing & Digital Resources

A host of computing and digital resources are available across the AAS College to enable you to develop your skills. In computer laboratories you will work with Macs and PCs for graphics or general design work, video equipment, and scanning and printing facilities.

We provide core and specialist software for specific disciplines including Adobe In Design, Photoshop and Illustrator; Macromedia Dreamweaver, Premiere, 3D Studio Max, Archicad, ArtLandis, Autocad, Solidworks, Stop Motion Pro, After Effects and others. All our facilities are networked for full internet access and you will be given an email account allowing you to log on to the network for use throughout your time with us.

Library & Learning Services

Despite the advancement of the electronic technology, publications (books and periodicals) still constitute an irreplaceable source of knowledge, information or even arousing creativity not only for the student but also for the future professional. In AAS, being aware of the meaning of publications, we initiate the student into systematically using books and specialised periodicals during the years of their studies. And something more: we encourage the students to seek ideas for their projects in these sources.

The books and the periodicals which concern matters of art and design constitute specialised publications and therefore are not available in public libraries. Usually, their high cost makes the purchase of such publications impossible for students. For the tutoring of our students we have created one of the most updated libraries (more than 7,000 titles) with books and periodicals concerning matters of art and design.

In the library there is also a study room with computers for research on the internet, as well as a printing corner.

Because of our franchise collaboration with British universities our students have access to e-libraries which provide unlimited sources for research and knowledge.
