Master in Arts

This master's program in Arts 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: Painting and Drawing, Printmaking, Photography, Intermedia, and Sculpture, giving master's students a choice of specialization within the fine arts. At the second-cycle level, coursework generally builds on a completed bachelor's degree in a related fine-arts field, moving students toward a more independent studio practice, a defined personal artistic approach, and preparation of a thesis or final exhibition project. Painting and drawing study at this level typically deepens technical and conceptual work in composition, color, and mark-making. Printmaking study advances technique across processes such as etching, lithography, or screen printing, alongside more experimental approaches. Photography study builds on image-making skills, both analog and digital, along with critical and historical study of the medium. Intermedia work spans combined-media approaches that may incorporate video, sound, or performance alongside visual art. Sculpture study addresses advanced three-dimensional work across a range of materials, form, and process. Graduates of master's-level fine-arts programs commonly go on to work as practicing artists, exhibiting through galleries and cultural institutions, or pursue teaching positions and further doctoral study. Poznań's long tradition as a center for art academy education gives students access to a departmental structure spanning multiple disciplines, letting them draw on shared artistic foundations while completing a defined body of work in their chosen medium over the four-semester program.
