The curriculum of Faculty of Contemporary Arts’ accredited study programs was designed with the focus on concrete training related to the professions of an artist and an art manager.
The curriculum also includes courses that follow the development of contemporary information technology, multimedia, contemporary art practice, as well as a number of elective courses. The curriculum thus encompasses the traditional educational experience and the modern tendencies.
Faculty of Contemporary Arts’ programs were created based on the vision of a better, more efficient higher education, while the teachers, important artists recognized worldwide, constitute the teaching elite in art education thanks to their dedication to high-quality, interactive ways of transferring their knowledge and skills.
