Undergraduate studies at the Faculty of Applied Arts

 

The curriculum for undergraduate Applied Arts studies is based within the educational-artistic field of Arts, academic discipline of  Applied Art and Design.

Upon completion of this program, students are granted the title of Bachelor of Applied Arts.

In order to complete the undergraduate studies in Applied Arts students must achieve at least 240 ECTS and fulfill all obligations required by the curriculum. Final thesis is not included in the curriculum.

The school year is divided into two semesters, with each term lasting 15 working weeks.
An educational content of 1 ECTS is realized by 30 hours of student workload.

The structure of the curriculum contains all three categories of courses in corresponding percentages: artistic, artistic-theorethical, and social sciences & humanities.

The structure of the program includes optional modules, required core courses and elective courses. By selecting a module, students declare one of the nine possible orientations.

Although the students declare their orientation upon enrollment, the modular structure of the curriculum as well as the flexible study rules, enable them to change the orientation or the study program.

Required core courses provide theoretical and practical artistic knowledge and skills. Elective courses allow the students to broaden their knowledge according to their personal preferences and provide them with new experiences arising from collaboration with colleagues from other academic programs or modules.

The contents of the main artistic courses provide students with practical and artistic knowledge and skills, while the content of the other courses provides them with artistic, theoretical, theoretical-artistic, expert or pedagogical knowledge. In this way, students are encouraged to be creative in their artistic practice and become familiar with the technical and technological details of their chosen profession. By mastering different contents the students of applied arts learn about the historical, theoretical and contemporary framework of this profession at university level.

Basic forms of teaching defined by the curriculum are: lectures and exercise classes, as well as active learning and  independent practical work. Courses which have artistic character are held at the Faculty premises, in studios or specialized workspaces. Lectures can be realized ex cathedra or by individual tuition. The exercise classes follow the lectures, and through practical work on artistic tasks, projects or research topics the students achieve the required curriculum goals.
