Bachelor in Arts

Jan Kochanowski University of Kielce offers this bachelor's program in Visual Arts, taught in English over three years, or six semesters, in the city of Kielce. Yearly tuition is 4000 EUR. Visual Arts at this university spans both first- and second-cycle study, built around comprehensive artistic education that develops knowledge, ability, and social skills across a range of art media and forms of artistic expression. The curriculum includes subjects in art theory and history, contemporary art, and the study of visual culture, aimed at broadening students' critical perspective and encouraging a creative, open attitude toward new artistic challenges and social roles. Core fine-arts subjects cover painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture, alongside coursework in multimedia, intermedia, photography, and film. Optional subjects allow students to move into new media, including digital art and digital animation, or into graphic design, covering advertising and publication design. Learning outcomes include intensive preparation for independent creative work shaped around each student's interests, development of the ability to explore new forms and means of artistic expression, use of an interdisciplinary contemporary and forward-looking artistic language, competence in both traditional and modern artistic media, and a working knowledge of art history and contemporary art. The program also prepares students to take part in regional, national, and international cultural life. Graduates of visual arts programs typically pursue work as practicing artists, illustrators, animators, graphic designers, or arts educators, and some continue on to second-cycle or master's-level study in the same field, building further on the foundation established during the bachelor's degree.
