Master in Arts

Jan Dlugosz University in Czestochowa offers this master's program in Arts, focused on Painting, taught in English over four semesters in the city of Częstochowa. The program is organized around three specializations: painting and classic techniques, painting in architecture and urbanism, and painting and multimedia. To complement the painting-focused work carried over from undergraduate study, drawing is also developed further within the studio setting. These two areas, painting and drawing, are treated as complementary strands that together prepare graduates for artistic or scientific activity after graduation, and for identifying their own position in the workforce, whether as an employee or as a self-employed practitioner. At the master's level, painting study typically builds on technical grounding established during a bachelor's degree, moving students toward an independent studio practice, a defined personal approach to painting, and preparation of a final project or thesis exhibition. Coursework in classic technique covers traditional materials and methods, while the architecture and urbanism specialization applies painting practice to built and urban environments, and the multimedia specialization connects painting with digital and mixed-media approaches. Graduates of master's-level painting programs commonly go on to work as practicing painters, muralists, art teachers, or gallery and studio professionals, and some continue toward doctoral study in fine arts. Częstochowa, home to the university, sits within Poland's broader network of art academies and university art faculties, giving graduates access to a national community of painting practitioners and art educators working across traditional and contemporary approaches to the medium.
