Bachelor’s study program in Design (awarding the of title Bc.)

The length of the full-time bachelor’s study program (the first level study program) is four years a term which corresponds to the demands of the interdisciplinary nature of this study program. Graduates from the bachelor’s program are independent creative personalitieswhose academic background includes knowledge from art, science and technology. In order for students to reach the required level of knowledge and skill in the subject, their first year is spentin the Foundations of Design Studio where they take their first steps as designers (Basics of Design) and as artists (Drawing for Design, Moulding, Artistic Geometry, and, during their second year,Colour and Lettering). Studentsrequire four semesters (two years) to successfully complete their assignments in all four specialized design studios (1. Industrial, 2. Product, 3. Innovation, 4. Visual Communication).Students then have three remaining semesters to hone their skills in the studio of their choosing, in whichthey will complete their bachelor work over the course of one semester.The complexity of the Design study program at the Faculty of Arts is ensured by the variety of subjects and assignments which students are required to undertake in the various studios.

Master’s study program in Design (awarding the title of Mgr. art.)

The length of the full-time study program(the second level study program) is two years a term which corresponds to the demands of an interdisciplinary course. Graduates from the master’s program are independent creative personalities whose academic background includes knowledge from art, science and technology.In the main subject of Design Studio, master’s students focus on design work in one specific studio which they chose during the admission process to the master’s program; most commonly, this is the same studio in which the students completed their bachelor’s studies.In the fifth year of their studies, students can spend one semester in another studio within the Faculty of Arts or in other institutions either within Slovakia or abroad through student exchanges such as those facilitated by the Erasmus program. The design assignments performed in the four Design Studios at the Department (1. Industrial, 2. Space, 3. Innovation, 4. Visual Communication) are more demanding projects and conceptualizations which are often carried out in collaboration with manufacturing companies and workshops. These projects can include concepts, which can push the boundaries of the discipline of Design.The second year of the master’s program is dedicated to thesis work. Students are expected to support their design work with research which is documented in the theoretical section of their thesis. Additional subjects such as the History of Design, Contemporary Aesthetics, Contemporary Design, Architecture and Fine Arts, and Thesis Methodology can support students in preparing their thesis.

During the course of their studies, doctoral students are involved in fulfilling the research and teaching tasks of the Department of Design. In addition to this, they perform their own artistic work, are involved in design projects, publishtheir work, investigate findings from their field of research, and participate in the development of the Department.
