The '''Royal Academy of Art''' ({{langx|nl|Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten}}, '''KABK''') is an art and design academy in [[The Hague]], offering programs at both the [[Education in the Netherlands|HBO bachelor's and master's]] levels, as well as PhD programs.
Succeeding the ''Haagsche Teeken-Academie'' (part of the [[Confrerie Pictura]]), the academy was founded on 29 September 1682, making it the oldest in the [[Netherlands]] and one of the oldest in the world.<ref name="kabb">{{Cite web |url=http://www.kabk.nl/pageEN.php?id=0194 |title=History |website=KABK |access-date=17 December 2014 |archive-date=25 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141225174005/http://www.kabk.nl/pageEN.php?id=0194 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The academy has been the training ground for a number of significant artists of the [[Hague School]]. It was part of the art movement of Dutch Impressionism and in the immediate vicinity of the II. [[Dutch Golden Age painting|Golden Age of Dutch painting]].
While training was strongly oriented towards the classic curriculum throughout much of the 19th century, the academy opened to modernism at the end of the 19th century. Influenced by the [[Bauhaus]], the academy gradually shifted its focus toward a more contemporary art and design style.<ref>{{Cite web|title= Geschiedenis van de Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten|url= https://www.kabk.nl/over/geschiedenis|access-date= 2023-06-25|archive-date= 2023-06-26|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230626112549/https://www.kabk.nl/over/geschiedenis|url-status= live}}</ref> Within education, the focus on new technologies and new media has expanded dramatically, which is visible in new workplaces and facilities, but also in new study options such as ArtScience, Interactive/Media/Design and Non-Linear Narrative. In 1957, in celebration of the academy's 250-year existence, it was awarded the predicate "royal".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Zaken |first=Ministerie van Algemene |date=2020-09-22 |title=Overzicht organisaties en verenigingen met Predicaat Koninklijk – Onderscheidingen – Het Koninklijk Huis |url=https://www.koninklijkhuis.nl/onderwerpen/onderscheidingen/predicaat-koninklijk/overzicht-predicaat-koninklijk |access-date=2023-06-25 |website=www.koninklijkhuis.nl |language=nl-NL |archive-date=2021-06-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210602214721/https://www.koninklijkhuis.nl/onderwerpen/onderscheidingen/predicaat-koninklijk/overzicht-predicaat-koninklijk |url-status=live }}</ref>
Nowadays, it maintains close ties in its curriculum with its mother institution, the University of the Arts The Hague (HDK), as well as [[Leiden University]], under the name "Academy of Creative and Performing Arts" (ACPA).<ref>{{Cite web|title= ACPA – Samenwerking met Universiteit Leiden|url= https://www.kabk.nl/onderzoek/acpa-samenwerking-met-leiden-universiteit|access-date= 2023-06-25|archive-date= 2023-06-26|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230626114056/https://www.kabk.nl/onderzoek/acpa-samenwerking-met-leiden-universiteit|url-status= live}}</ref> As a result, students are able to follow several elective classes from all institutions falling under that umbrella.

== History ==
[[File:1930, Prinsessegracht, Den Haag.png|thumb|left|The old building of the Royal Academy of Art in the Prinsessegracht, Den Haag, 1930]]
[[File:Exterieur - 's-Gravenhage - 20087818 - RCE.jpg|thumb|left|Entrance area of the Royal Academy of Art, Prinsessegracht 3–4, 1930]]
The Royal Academy of Art The Hague, was founded on September 29, 1682, by [[Willem Doudijns]], [[Theodor van der Schuer]], [[Daniel Mijtens the Younger]], [[Robbert Duval (1639–1732)|Robert Duval]] and [[Augustinus Terwesten]] as the ''Haagsche Teeken-Academie'' ("The Hague Drawing Academy"). In the evening there were drawings classes and on Saturday the society debated about art.<ref>Plantenga, J.H., ''De academie van 's Gravenhage 1682–1937,'' Den Haag 1938</ref><ref>[[Joop Beljon]] (1982). ''300 jaar Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten 's-Gravenhage 1682–1982: een beknopt overzicht.'' p. 16.</ref>
In the 18th century the Hague Academy was a thriving institution, but the end of the 18th century was a difficult time due to the absence of any financial support. The low point was around 1800, when the academy was working with fewer than ten students.<ref name="kabb"/><ref>These problems were the result of the continental blockade of England.</ref>
Under [[William I of the Netherlands]], support returned and the old institute grew once again. In 1821, the drawing education was combined with the newly established School of Civil Engineering.<ref>Beljon (1982, p. 41)</ref> After being housed in the ''Korenbeurs'' and ''Boterwaag'' in 1839, a new neoclassical building was designed by city architect [[Zeger Reyers]] (1790–1857), located at the Prinsessegracht.
In the 19th century, the artists [[Johannes Bosboom]], [[Isaac Israëls]], [[Willem Maris]], [[Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch]] and [[George Hendrik Breitner]] were trained here. In 1937, a new academy building designed by J.H. Plantenga (1891–c. 1945), J.W.E. Buijs and J.B. Lürsen was completed on the site of the old neoclassical building.
In 1990, the Royal Academy merged with the [[Royal Conservatory of The Hague]] into the "School of Visual Arts, Music and Dance". In 2010 the Dutch government elevated the joint institutions to "University of the Arts in The Hague". The two still go by their original names as well, to underline their individual identities.
The academy awards the Gerrit Noordzij Prize initial designs every two years.

[[File:Netherlands, The Hague, Bleijenburg 38 (02), Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten.jpg|thumb|150px|Bleijenburg 38]]
After 1821, the academy grew in importance again, as the ''School voor Burgerlijke Bouwkunde'' was connected to it. Now it moved in the house of the ''Korenbeurs'' (Grain Exchange).<ref>The former Corn Exchange House is now a cultural center of the city of The Hague.</ref> This small building was important for the future of this school.
Later, it moved to the ''Boterwaag'' (weighing house for butter), but there was not enough light for the painting classes. Finally in 1839 the academy got its own building at the Prinsessegracht; it was designed by Zeger Reyers in the architectural style of [[neoclassicism]].
In the 20th century, the classes grew, necessitating more space. Thus, from 1934 to 1937, the academy got a new building at Prinsessegracht&nbsp;4. The building was built in the style of the [[Bauhaus]].<ref>The flow of the Bauhaus at Dessau had great influence on the facade design of many public buildings in Europe.</ref> And in the 1990s the adjacent historic building at Bleijenburg 38 was acquired.
===Hague School ===
[[File:Interieur vestibule - 's-Gravenhage - 20087814 - RCE.jpg|thumb|Lobby Academy building in March 1926|207x207px]]
At the end of the 19th century, the art scene in The Hague flourished, in what was also known internationally as the [[Hague School]]. Many well-known artists like [[George Hendrik Breitner|Breitner]], the brothers Maris ([[Jacob Maris]] and [[Matthijs Maris]]) and [[Johannes Bosboom|Bosboom]] were trained in the academy. In the first half of the 20th century the academy played an important role in the Netherlands, too.
The new departments of photography and design arose under [[Bauhaus]]-influence.
At that time, the teachers of the [[avant-garde]] such as [[Gerrit Kiljan]] (1881–1961), [[Paul Schuitema]] (1897–1973), [[Paul Citroen]] (1896–1983) and [[Cor Alon]] (1892–1967) dominated the academy. The academy expanded its curriculum as one of the first Dutch schools by teaching in the field of [[industrial design]].
In 1938 a new building erected on the site of the old house. The design was one of the architectural firm ''Plantenga, Buijs & Lürsen''.
=== Modern times ===
In 1990, the academy and the [[Royal Conservatory of The Hague|Royal Conservatory]] joined into the Academy of Fine Arts, Music and Dance (now University of the Arts The Hague).
In 2000, a general overhaul led by architect ''Van Mourik Vermeulen'' was carried out, enlarging the campus.
In 2001, a collaboration between [[Leiden University]] and the Royal Academy of Art resulted in the first formalised collaboration between a Dutch university and art institute. The Royal Conservatory, the Royal Academy of Art and Leiden University now offer joint degree programmes, including ones at doctoral level.
The academy's focus on novel technologies and new media has resulted in state-of-the-art workshops, studios and departments such as ArtScience, Interactive/Media/Design and Non-Linear Narrative.

The management and administration of the KABK is led by director Ranti Tjan, with Fenna Hup acting as the deputy director.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Organisatie |url=https://www.kabk.nl/over/organisatie |access-date=2023-06-29 |website=KABK |language=nl |archive-date=2023-06-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230626114103/https://www.kabk.nl/over/organisatie |url-status=live }}</ref> Administrative and managerial duties are divided among several heads of various departments, each responsible for different aspects of the academy's operations.
The broader organization of the academy includes several administrators. Each of these administrators plays a crucial role in maintaining the smooth operation of the institution, from overseeing technical services and facility management to quality assurance, international affairs, marketing and communications, and human resources.
The educational programs at the academy are managed by department heads responsible for their respective academic areas. They supervise a team of teachers and one or more coordinators, and ensure the quality and relevance of the educational programs at the academy. In addition to the administrative and academic roles, the KABK's administration also includes positions of lectors, such as Prof. Dr. Anke Haarmann (Lectorate Art Theory & Practice) and Prof. Dr. Alice Twemlow (Lectorate Design).
Student participation in the administration is emphasized in the Academy Council (DMR-KABK), University Council (CMR-HdK), and Study Programme Committee KABK.<ref name="kabk.nl">[https://www.kabk.nl/storage/documents/OER-21-22-Ba_ENG_v2.pdf  Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten]kabk.nl {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629160642/https://www.kabk.nl/storage/documents/OER-21-22-Ba_ENG_v2.pdf |date=2023-06-29 }}</ref> These bodies consist of student and staff representatives and are involved in decision-making, ensuring student voices are heard at the highest levels. Similarly, the University Council and Study Programme Committee include students and teaching staff alike.
The academy also has a separate examination board consisting of elected tutors.<ref name=":0" /> Ranti Tjan was dismissed after a court case in juni 2023.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2023/06/28/rechtbank-den-haag-beslist-kabk-directeur-ranti-tjan-wordt-per-1-juli-ontslagen-a4168455 | title=Rechtbank den Haag beslist: KABK-directeur Ranti Tjan wordt per 1 juli ontslagen | newspaper=NRC | date=28 June 2023 | last1=Borg | first1=Lucette ter | access-date=29 June 2023 | archive-date=29 June 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629131012/https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2023/06/28/rechtbank-den-haag-beslist-kabk-directeur-ranti-tjan-wordt-per-1-juli-ontslagen-a4168455 | url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Department structure ===
The KABK offers two broad bachelor's degrees to its students, a BA Design and a BA Autonomous Fine Arts. It divides these degrees into several departments or programs. These departments are the organizational unit within the Royal Academy of Art that are responsible for the curriculum of the bachelors' specializations. A specialization is an implementation of a degree program with a focus on a specific profile within the objectives of the program, e.g. on a specific artistic discipline.<ref name="kabk.nl"/> For example, the departments Graphic Design and Interactive/Media/Design, whilst being a separate department with a different faculty and curriculum, are both specializations of the same broader bachelor's degree, BA Design. All specializations within a degree program share the same final qualifications/learning objectives. Each department also has its own propaedeutic phase and its own main phase.
From the onset of the bachelor's program, there is a focus on activities related to research. The curriculum is designed to instill a research-oriented, critical attitude in students. This critical approach is evident in students' work, papers, and – where applicable – final theses. Emphasis is placed on reflection, critical assessment, and the analysis of one's own and others' work in both historical and contemporary perspectives. To facilitate this, research is conducted to understand the process and motivation behind work created elsewhere and in the past.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.hogeschoolderkunsten.nl/storage/documents/JAARVERSLAG-HdK-2021.pdf#page=46 |title=Jaarverslag 2021 p. 46 |access-date=2023-06-29 |archive-date=2023-04-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230415192105/https://www.hogeschoolderkunsten.nl/storage/documents/JAARVERSLAG-HdK-2021.pdf#page=46 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.hogeschoolderkunsten.nl/storage/documents/JAARVERSLAG-HdK-2021.pdf#page=39 |title=Jaarverslag 2021 p.39 |access-date=2023-06-29 |archive-date=2023-04-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230415192105/https://www.hogeschoolderkunsten.nl/storage/documents/JAARVERSLAG-HdK-2021.pdf#page=39 |url-status=live }}</ref>
At KABK, this research-oriented approach is introduced in the academy-wide preparatory class ''Research&Discourse''. It is also observed in later years in subjects such as fashion or photography criticism, and in numerous practical and studio assignments. In some departments, students initiate their own research, while others have established research groups.
The specialization Fine Arts (BA Autonomous Fine Arts) is also offered as a part-time program, and so is the specialization Photography (BA Design). Final qualifications of full-time and part-time programs are exactly the same, but have less contact hours than full-time programs, and thus require more independent work from students. The duration of the part-time programs in terms of calendar years depends on the time the student is able to spend on independent learning and possible exemptions that can be granted.
In addition, KABK offers various elective ''Individual Study Tracks'' (ISTs) which essentially serve as mini-departments. The goal of an IST is to facilitate new education and gauge the potential of programs to serve as future departments.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Individual Study Track (IST) |url=https://www.kabk.nl/academiebreed-onderwijs/individual-study-track |access-date=2023-06-29 |website=KABK |language=nl |archive-date=2023-06-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230601160351/https://www.kabk.nl/academiebreed-onderwijs/individual-study-track |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Open Call for KABK IST course proposals |url=https://www.kabk.nl/nieuws/open-call-for-kabk-ist-course-proposals |access-date=2023-06-29 |website=KABK |language=nl |archive-date=2023-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629170633/https://www.kabk.nl/nieuws/open-call-for-kabk-ist-course-proposals |url-status=live }}</ref>

4-years full-time or part-time bachelor's program that aims to align the past of fine art with its present and its future. The program covers a wide range of techniques and technologies relevant for the making of art, such as painting, drawing, printing, video, sculpture and performance.
The department is led by department co-heads Antoinette Vonder Mühll and Carl Johan Högberg. In addition, the department leadership consists of two coordinators, Collette Rayner and Wais Wardak.
The specialization Fine Arts is also offered as a part-time program. Also, in the same specialization, an opportunity is offered to selected students who successfully completed the propaedeutic phase to combine the program with the bachelor's degree program in Art History (Arts, Media and Society) of [[Leiden University]]. In this ''Combined Degree program'', study components of the main phase of the specialization Fine Art of the KABK with study components of the Art History program of Leiden University are combined into one shared program of 180 ECs. This leads to the student obtaining both a BA degree at the Royal Academy of Art and a BA degree at Leiden University.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BA Fine Arts & BA Arts, Media and Society |url=https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/humanities/academy-of-creative-and-performing-arts/tuition/double-degree |access-date=2023-06-29 |website=Leiden University |language=en |archive-date=2023-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629160639/https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/humanities/academy-of-creative-and-performing-arts/tuition/double-degree |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Academics ==
=== Admissions ===
Admission to the programs at the KABK is highly selective, based on a comprehensive admission examination that includes an evaluation of portfolios, interviews, and often on-site or online exercises. The acceptance rate varies greatly per department. For instance, in the 2023–2024 academic year, around 1200 applicants competed for roughly 50 places in the graphic design program, putting the admission rate for that year at a mere 4%.
The graduation rate also varies. In the 2021–2022 academic year, 536 were admitted and 434 graduated. The number of admitted as well as graduating students has increased in previous years, with 390 admitted in the 2016–2017 academic year and 256 graduated, while in the 2019–2020 academic year, 465 were admitted and 353 graduated.<ref name="hogeschoolderkunsten.nl" />
==== Grants and financial support ====
KABK offers financial support through the ''Profileringsfonds'' which is available for students who experience exceptional circumstances that cause study delays. Non-EU/EEA students who are ineligible for a study grant or loan may receive financial aid under certain conditions. Furthermore, the interfaculty ''School for Young Talent'' ensures that talented students are not kept from studying because their parents cannot afford tuition. There are various funds and institutions that can provide financial assistance to help bear the cost of their education.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.kabk.nl/praktische-zaken/fondsen-en-beurzen | title=Fondsen en beurzen | access-date=2023-06-29 | archive-date=2023-06-01 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230601165807/https://www.kabk.nl/praktische-zaken/fondsen-en-beurzen | url-status=live }}</ref>
For non-EU/EEA students, the ''Holland Scholarship'' is available, providing a one-time grant of €5,000 for the first year of study.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Holland Scholarship {{!}} Study in NL |url=https://www.studyinnl.org/finances/holland-scholarship |access-date=2023-06-29 |website=www.studyinnl.org |language=en |archive-date=2023-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629170636/https://www.studyinnl.org/finances/holland-scholarship |url-status=live }}</ref>
While the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] has had an impact on the mobility of students and staff, opportunities are being assessed on a case-by-case basis. In terms of scholarships, every academic year sees some students benefitting from the [[Erasmus Programme|Erasmus+ program]], Holland Scholarship, and other financial aid. For example, in the 2019–2020 academic year, the Erasmus+ program facilitated the mobility of 42 students and 15 staff members from KABK. In the following year, 42 students and one staff member participated in the program. For example, during the academic year 2019–2020 and 2020–2021, three students each year received the Holland Scholarship.<ref name="hogeschoolderkunsten.nl" />
Students with refugee status are subject to a specific regulation. Lastly, EU/EEA/Swiss students younger than 30 years old starting at KABK can apply for a regular loan and a tuition fee loan with DUO. In contrast, those older than 30 can apply for a lifelong learning loan with DUO.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lifelong learning credit – DUO |url=https://www.duo.nl/particulier/lifelong-learning-credit/index.jsp |access-date=2023-06-29 |website=duo.nl |language=en |archive-date=2021-03-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301064745/https://www.duo.nl/particulier/lifelong-learning-credit/index.jsp |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Demographics ===
The academy argues that art and design are pre-eminently international disciplines. As such, it assumes an international orientation.
KABK has a large international student population, with 63% of students being international.<ref name=":2" /> The student body is highly diverse, with about 60 different nationalities represented in the 2021–2022 academic year. Out of 565 international students, 384 were from the EU/EEA, and 181 were not. According to the ''OSIRIS'' report in 2018, EU students came mostly from Germany, France, Italy, and Poland. Non-EU students predominantly came from South Korea, the United States, Russia, and China. The teaching at KABK is primarily in English and, when necessary, bilingual.<ref name="hogeschoolderkunsten.nl" />
The student body at KABK spans a variety of age groups, from teenagers to individuals in their late fifties, indicating a diverse age range within the institution. However, the largest proportion of students fall within the younger age brackets.<ref name=":3" />
A consistent trend observed across all age groups is the vast predominance of female students, indicative of the overall gender distribution at KABK.<ref name=":3" />
==== Government intervention of internationalization ====
The number of foreign students at Dutch universities has been rising for years, reaching 122,287 in 2023.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nuffic.nl/nieuws/onderzoek-nuffic-instroom-internationale-studenten-vlakt-af | title=Onderzoek Nuffic: Instroom internationale studenten vlakt af &#124; Nuffic | access-date=2023-06-30 | archive-date=2023-06-30 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630130544/https://www.nuffic.nl/nieuws/onderzoek-nuffic-instroom-internationale-studenten-vlakt-af | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Smaling |first=Elmer |date=2023-05-04 |title=Groei internationale studenten bijna gehalveerd |url=https://www.erasmusmagazine.nl/2023/05/04/groei-internationale-studenten-bijna-gehalveerd/ |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=Erasmus Magazine |language=nl-NL |archive-date=2023-06-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630130543/https://www.erasmusmagazine.nl/2023/05/04/groei-internationale-studenten-bijna-gehalveerd/ |url-status=live }}</ref> About 40 percent of first-year students that year came from abroad.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-03-14 |title=Weer meer internationale studenten: 'We moeten instroom gaan beheersen' |url=https://www.parool.nl/amsterdam/weer-meer-internationale-studenten-we-moeten-instroom-gaan-beheersen~b758e268/ |access-date=2023-06-29 |website=Het Parool |language=nl-NL |archive-date=2023-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629170634/https://www.parool.nl/amsterdam/weer-meer-internationale-studenten-we-moeten-instroom-gaan-beheersen~b758e268/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
The [[House of Representatives (Netherlands)|House of Representatives]] has long called for the flow of international students to be limited.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://open.overheid.nl/documenten/ronl-06b4b677a403b15d16f37e5290aab55fd5131a16/pdf|title=Stopzetting actieve werving internationale studenten|website=overheid.nl|access-date=13 April 2024|archive-date=14 March 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240314194040/https://open.overheid.nl/documenten/ronl-06b4b677a403b15d16f37e5290aab55fd5131a16/pdf|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-29 |title=Kamer wil stop werving internationale studenten, 'geen advertenties meer' |url=https://nos.nl/artikel/2454473-kamer-wil-stop-werving-internationale-studenten-geen-advertenties-meer |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=nos.nl |language=nl |archive-date=2023-06-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630130542/https://nos.nl/artikel/2454473-kamer-wil-stop-werving-internationale-studenten-geen-advertenties-meer |url-status=live }}</ref> According to the House, the accessibility of education is under pressure due to the large number of international students. While universities welcomed these students for the additional income and diversity they brought, the downside was increased pressure on institutions and greater workload for teachers. Additionally, the Netherlands is grappling with a housing problem.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dashboard |url=https://studentenhuisvesting.incijfers.nl/mosaic/lms/1--huidige-studentenpopulatie-en-woonsituatie |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=studentenhuisvesting.incijfers.nl |archive-date=2023-06-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630130545/https://studentenhuisvesting.incijfers.nl/mosaic/lms/1--huidige-studentenpopulatie-en-woonsituatie |url-status=live }}</ref>
By mid-2025, each program must demonstrate that using English as a language of instruction adds value. For this, universities must seek approval from the Commission for Efficiency in Higher Education (''Dutch: Commissie Doelmatigheid Hoger Onderwijs'', CDHO), which advises the minister on the efficiency of the program. By monitoring this, [[Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (Netherlands)|Minister of Education, Culture and Science]] [[Robbert Dijkgraaf]] aims to reduce the proliferation of English-language programs. Currently, separate approval for a program taught in another language is not required.
The existing law mandates that universities must teach in Dutch unless there is an incidental necessity to teach in another language. According to Dijkgraaf, these exceptions have been formulated too broadly, resulting in too many programs being offered in other languages. This point was brought forward by Dijkgraaf during a committee meeting of the House of Representatives.
Simultaneously, Dijkgraaf intends to allow English-language courses in Dutch bachelor programs. No more than a third of all courses may be taught in a language other than Dutch. This equates to 60 out of 180 credits in a three-year program.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-16 |title=Dijkgraaf gaat internationalisering tegen: opleidingen niet zomaar meer in het Engels |url=https://www.parool.nl/nederland/dijkgraaf-gaat-internationalisering-tegen-opleidingen-niet-zomaar-meer-in-het-engels~b3f0aad8/ |access-date=2023-06-29 |website=Het Parool |language=nl-NL |archive-date=2023-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629170633/https://www.parool.nl/nederland/dijkgraaf-gaat-internationalisering-tegen-opleidingen-niet-zomaar-meer-in-het-engels~b3f0aad8/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
A spokesperson for Minister Dijkgraaf confirmed reports from [[Trouw]] and [[De Volkskrant]] about the plans to curb the number of English-language programs. Dijkgraaf plans to enshrine these changes in law by the end of the summer of 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-15 |title=De instroom van internationale studenten moet ingeperkt worden van de Tweede Kamer, maar hoe? |url=https://www.trouw.nl/politiek/de-instroom-van-internationale-studenten-moet-ingeperkt-worden-van-de-tweede-kamer-maar-hoe~bf610c23/ |access-date=2023-06-29 |website=Trouw |language=nl-NL |archive-date=2023-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629170636/https://www.trouw.nl/politiek/de-instroom-van-internationale-studenten-moet-ingeperkt-worden-van-de-tweede-kamer-maar-hoe~bf610c23/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-15 |title=Rem op groei aantal buitenlandse studenten: maximaal eenderde van de vakken in het Engels |url=https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/rem-op-groei-aantal-buitenlandse-studenten-maximaal-eenderde-van-de-vakken-in-het-engels~bc685bbb/ |access-date=2023-06-29 |website=de Volkskrant |language=nl-NL |archive-date=2023-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629172136/https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/rem-op-groei-aantal-buitenlandse-studenten-maximaal-eenderde-van-de-vakken-in-het-engels~bc685bbb/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In August 2022, Pim Voorneman, a 60-year-old teacher and artist, was confronted by Ranti Tjan, the director at the time, over serious misconduct allegations. Voorneman admitted to his misbehavior and was dismissed from his position on September 1 of that year.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-09-05 |title=Docent KABK maakte 'honderden' stiekeme foto's van vrouwen onder tafel |url=https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2022/09/05/docent-kabk-maakte-honderden-stiekeme-fotos-van-vrouwen-onder-tafel-a4140800 |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=NRC |language=nl |last1=Borg |first1=Lucette ter |last2=Houtekamer |first2=Carola |archive-date=2023-04-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230402044842/https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2022/09/05/docent-kabk-maakte-honderden-stiekeme-fotos-van-vrouwen-onder-tafel-a4140800 |url-status=live }}</ref> Voorneman's activities came to light when he was caught surreptitiously photographing, or [[upskirt]]ing, a woman in a fitting room in Utrecht. Upon her report, an unannounced police house search in The Hague unveiled numerous additional photos, some taken at the KABK building.
In response, Ranti Tjan issued a statement to faculty and students expressing shock and reiterating the academy's commitment to ensuring a safe environment for all. He pledged a zero-tolerance approach towards any form of boundary-crossing behavior.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Statement regarding violation of code of conduct by staff member |url=https://www.kabk.nl/en/news/statement-kabk-regarding-violation-of-code-of-conduct-by-staff-member |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=KABK |language=nl |archive-date=2023-06-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630130542/https://www.kabk.nl/en/news/statement-kabk-regarding-violation-of-code-of-conduct-by-staff-member |url-status=live }}</ref> While the police investigation continues, the exact scope of the incident remains uncertain. Voorneman himself claims to have not photographed minors, men or faculty staff of the KABK, and further states that the faces in the images are not identifiable. Many of the photographic incidents occurred outside the academy and seemed to involve only a limited number of students. The academy has chosen not to launch an internal investigation or report the incident itself, but rather to await the outcome of the judicial investigation.
As a senior member of the academy's faculty since 1990, Voorneman is described by peers to have had a distinguished career as an installation artist, sculptor, and typographer, as well as a significant role in The Hague's art scene.
==== 2013 sexual misconduct scandal ====
According to a 2020 report by [[NRC (newspaper)|NRC]], Julian Andeweg (also known as Juliaan Andeweg), a former student of the KABK, had been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, including some incidents that occurred while he was studying at the institution. These allegations have sparked a wider discussion about sexual harassment and abuse in the art world in both the Netherlands and Belgium.
Despite multiple warnings about Andeweg's behavior to art institutions, gallery owners, and educational institutions, the artist's career has continued to flourish. The accusations against him span a period of at least 14 years, and at least five victims have filed complaints with the police, prompting an investigation. NRC spoke with about eighty men and women, both domestically and abroad on the matter. During his time at the KABK, Andeweg's artistic (and, at the time, seemingly innocent) evolution was deemed "fascinating" by the KABK staff, according to a former student. Allegedly, influential faculty staff at the time had expressed their admiration for his work, praising his ''rock 'n roll'' image and quickly characterizing him as a "real artist", making it increasingly difficult for victims to come forward and file a complaint.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2020-10-30 |title=Hoe een kunstenaar carrière maakt onder aanhoudende beschuldigingen van aanranding en verkrachting |url=https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2020/10/30/hoe-een-kunstenaar-carriere-maakt-onder-aanhoudende-beschuldigingen-van-aanranding-en-verkrachting-a4018047 |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=NRC |language=nl |last1=Borg |first1=Lucette ter |last2=Houtekamer |first2=Carola |archive-date=2023-06-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630130542/https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2020/10/30/hoe-een-kunstenaar-carriere-maakt-onder-aanhoudende-beschuldigingen-van-aanranding-en-verkrachting-a4018047 |url-status=live }}</ref>
The [[Public Prosecution Service (Netherlands)|Public Prosecutor's Office]] in Amsterdam has confirmed that Andeweg will be brought to court. He has been accused of rape, assault, intimidation, violence, stalking, and theft by at least twenty men and women. Six charges have been filed against him, one of which has been dismissed due to statute of limitations. The Prosecutor's Office stated that the investigative file on Andeweg has been "completed," and there is "enough reason for the public prosecutor to summon." They expect that the case against Andeweg will begin before the summer of 2023.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-11-16 |title=Kunstenaar Julian Andeweg komt voor de rechter |url=https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2022/11/16/kunstenaar-julian-andeweg-komt-voor-de-rechter-a4148396 |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=NRC |language=nl |last1=Borg |first1=Lucette ter |last2=Houtekamer |first2=Carola |archive-date=2023-06-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630130542/https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2022/11/16/kunstenaar-julian-andeweg-komt-voor-de-rechter-a4148396 |url-status=live }}</ref>
