Master in Art and design

Art and Design is a master's degree program at Lodz University of Technology, taught in English in Lodz, Poland, over 1.5 year, with a yearly tuition fee of 14600 PLN. The program is intended for students with a creative approach who completed first-cycle studies that provided good practices and a basis for creating their own designs, and it prepares them to become specialists in specific industrial fields as second-cycle Design students. Graduates are prepared for independent and collaborative professional practice as designers, including designers of textiles, textile home furnishings, apparel and lingerie, and visual and media communication systems, with common professions including textile and knitwear designer, clothing and lingerie designer, clothing stylist, design consultant, visual communication designer, and graphic designer. The study program complements the knowledge and skills acquired during first-cycle studies, offering a broader approach to ongoing projects through both artistic and technical understanding, and includes close cooperation with the industrial sector so that students gain work experience with established companies. Students develop the ability to independently collect, analyze, and interpret information, formulate critical arguments, and organize their own work. Specializations include textile architecture, outfit architecture, and visual communication and printing techniques. Design as a discipline sits between the arts and applied technical practice, requiring both aesthetic judgment and knowledge of materials and production methods, and a 1.5 year master's program of this kind typically deepens specialization built during undergraduate design training before graduates enter professional design roles.
