Master in Arts

Tuition is 4,673 USD per year.

This master's program in Visual Arts at Jan Kochanowski University of Kielce is taught in English over two years, or four semesters, in the city of Kielce. Yearly tuition is 4000 EUR. As with the university's first-cycle program, this second-cycle Visual Arts degree is built on comprehensive artistic education that develops knowledge, ability, and social skills across a range of art media and forms of expression. Coursework includes subjects in art theory and history, contemporary art, and the study of visual culture, intended to broaden students' critical perspective and support a creative attitude open to new artistic challenges and roles within society. Core fine-arts subjects cover painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture, alongside coursework in multimedia, intermedia, photography, and film. Optional subjects let students specialize in new media, including digital art and digital animation, or in publication design, covering poster design, illustration, and typography. Learning outcomes include intensive preparation for independent creative work shaped around each student's own interests, development of the ability to explore new artistic forms and media, use of an interdisciplinary and forward-looking artistic language, competence across both traditional and modern artistic media, and grounding in art history and contemporary art theory. The program also prepares graduates to take part in regional, national, and international cultural and artistic life. At the master's level, students typically move toward a more independent studio practice and a thesis or final project, building on a completed bachelor's degree in visual arts or a related field, and graduates commonly go on to work as practicing artists, illustrators, designers, or arts educators, or continue toward doctoral study.
