Influenced by the Bauhaus, the academy gradually shifted its focus toward a more contemporary art and design style.

[10] 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.

[18] 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.

Finally in 1839 the academy got its own building at the Prinsessegracht; it was designed by Zeger Reyers in the architectural style of neoclassicism.

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.

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.

Similarly, the University Council and Study Programme Committee include students and teaching staff alike.

[23] In November 2023 a member of the Supervisory Board stepped down at his main place of work duw to accusations of funding fraud by the Eu.

These departments are the organizational unit within the Royal Academy of Art that are responsible for the curriculum of the bachelors' specializations.

Emphasis is placed on reflection, critical assessment, and the analysis of one's own and others' work in both historical and contemporary perspectives.

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.

[28][29] 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.

[31] 4-years full-time bachelor's program that covers a wide range of techniques and technologies, such as design, interaction, image, coding and typography.

[5] KABK offers financial support through the Profileringsfonds which is available for students who experience exceptional circumstances that cause study delays.

[37] A consistent trend observed across all age groups is the vast predominance of female students, indicative of the overall gender distribution at KABK.

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.

By monitoring this, Minister of Education, Culture and Science Robbert Dijkgraaf aims to reduce the proliferation of English-language programs.

[44] A spokesperson for Minister Dijkgraaf confirmed reports from Trouw and De Volkskrant about the plans to curb the number of English-language programs.

[45][46] 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.

[48] Voorneman's activities came to light when he was caught surreptitiously photographing, or upskirting, 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.

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.

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.

These allegations have sparked a wider discussion about sexual harassment and abuse in the art world in both the Netherlands and Belgium.

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.
