Program that leads you to success

The goal of graduate (master’s) studies of dramatic arts – acting is to, through lectures, discussions, practical exercises and research, get the student acquainted with various advanced acting techniques, schools, approaches, methods, genres and media and technologies, so that the student can approach future acting, research, teaching, critical and artistic tasks independently, creatively, analytically, critically and confidently.

At this program, the art and skill of acting itself is segmented into several theoretical and practical, i.e. artistic sets through three different approaches to acting:

  • Classical theater
  • Avant-garde theater
  • Acting for film and television

The master studies program includes frequent public appearances, to make sure that the students already have a rich portfolio with a wealth of successful projects upon the completion of their studies at FCA.

Preparation for international career

One of the crucial means of any actor’s expression is certainly the language one speaks. To start an international career, you need to master the English language and learn how to use it in your roles in a natural and authentic way.

This is why teaching and testing at certain FCA courses takes place in English, teaching you how to use it in your work in a professional way.

Thanks to that, you can audition all over the world and get parts in international theaters and movies, as well as media engagements and freelance work.
