Master in Art and design

This master's program in Art and Design at the University of Arts in Poznań is taught in English over four semesters, or two years, in the city of Poznań. Yearly tuition is 6000 EUR. Study is organized across five departments: Interior Design, Industrial Design, Stage Design, Graphic Design, and Fashion Design, giving master's students a choice of specialization within the field. At the second-cycle level, coursework generally builds on a completed bachelor's degree in art or design, moving students toward independent project work, a defined design methodology, and preparation of a thesis project. Interior design study addresses the planning and organization of built spaces, balancing function, materials, and aesthetics. Industrial design centers on the development of manufactured products, considering usability, materials, and production processes. Stage design applies design thinking to theatre, film, and performance, covering set construction and spatial storytelling. Graphic design work covers visual communication, branding, and layout across print and digital media. Fashion design addresses garment construction, textile choices, and collection development. Across these departments, graduates commonly move into roles such as interior designer, product or industrial designer, set and production designer, graphic designer, or fashion designer, working in studios, manufacturing firms, cultural institutions, and creative agencies. Poznań has a long-standing tradition as a center for art and design education in Poland, and the university's departmental structure lets students draw on design fundamentals shared across disciplines while working toward a specific professional focus during their master's studies.
