No joint study programme.
The main goal of the education of the study programme is artistic creation, which includes a whole set of activities: from the artistic concept, theory, research, to the realisation of an original work of art as an autonomous attitude of artists and evaluation of their talent. At the time of completion of the study programme, students are capable of conceptual and coordination activities and international confrontation. They can create innovatively and experimentally, they can use the entire range of technological procedures and media resulting from the content of the study programme. With their creative work and attitudes, they significantly participate in the formation and development of culture and society. At the time of completion of the study programme, students are able to purposefully use a wide range of media to their advantage and through them create strategies for their artistic growth and influence on the cultural development of society. They can critically analyse the current cultural mindset of society in a social, economic, historical and political context. Students are able to creatively use a wide range of technical and technological tools and equipment, from analog to highly sophisticated digital ones. They understand the devices used in terms of their usefulness for their creative work and are able to create tasks and requirements for the service staff. They are able to work independently with digital tools and are constantly learning about them as part of their artistic focus.
Main education outcomes:
Graduates can, either as individuals or as members of creative collectives, create a challenging autonomous work of art in the context of contemporary visual art. Graduates are able to understand, critically analyse, evaluate and interpret the content of an artistic and professional text, the problems raised in it and their broader meanings. They are able to analyse, interpret and present their work in a foreign language, and at the same time, thanks to their language and communication skills, they are able to employ themselves and work in an international context as part of artistic research projects. Graduates are able to critically assess their abilities so that they are motivated to achieve their own professional goals, which they can identify and autonomously evaluate for their own benefit and growth. Graduates have the skills and competences of independent economic functioning in society. They can choose an appropriate form of artistic operation for their creative activities (SZČO, s. r. o., O.Z., etc.) and use the possibilities of supporting grant and residency structures in the local and foreign environment. Graduates are capable of active social interaction. They can support and initiate team cooperation and take responsibility for it. They respect the otherness and uniqueness of people and cultures, establish and maintain relationships in their personal and professional life, and are able to evaluate their ethical and social connections. With their artistic and civic attitude, graduates actively contribute to the protection of the environment and cultural heritage not only for themselves, but also for future generations. Graduates understand citizenship, democracy, social justice, foreign cultures, the rights of other persons, different cultural needs and values. They can critically perceive the functioning of churches, self-government and the state. Graduates can analyse the causes and consequences of regional and global problems. The specific contribution of AFAD graduates is increased sensitivity to shared public space, both physical and virtual, as well as critical reflection of its visual aspects. They perceive the role of the media in society, including internet platforms and social networks, responsibly and, based on their qualifications, co-create this environment in accordance with relevant international obligations and national legislation.
Graduates have the qualification for employment in a wide range of artistic and cultural operations in the local and foreign environment, in public or private organisations. They can work as independent visual artists with exhibition practice, members of creative artistic teams (also with overlap within other fields, e.g. architecture, film, design), pedagogically in educational institutions (Art School, Secondary Art School, Art Academy, gallery education, lecturing activities and lifelong learning), experts in cultural institutions (galleries, museums, theatres, cultural and creative centres), employees in local self-governments (departments of culture, education, popularisation of culture, cultural institutions abroad), creative workers in industrial and other commercial operations (advertising and marketing agencies, creative production in the creative industry).
Mandatory only for regulated professions. The Visual Arts study programme is not a programme requiring the conditions of a regulated profession.
Visual Arts is a new study programme in which the AFAD has prepared a structure according to which it will gather and monitor data and evaluation reports on the employability of future graduates:
a. Survey for graduates (work in the field, area, form). The survey is created and monitored by the Academic Senate of the AFAD.
b. Visibility monitoring (exhibition, reviews, professional and public media of graduates, as well as students). (Monitored by the Office for Quality.)
c. Statistical information from the offices of labour. (Monitored by the Office for Quality.)
d. Information from relevant institutions and external experts (e.g. Slovak National Gallery, Kunsthalle, city and regional galleries and other cultural institutions). (Monitored by the Office for Quality.)
The study programme is a new study programme preceded by the study programmes: painting; sculpture, object, installation; printmaking and other media; photography and new media; intermedia and applied art. Upon request, the AFAD will submit to the evaluation the outputs of successful graduates, which are regularly monitored by the AFAD through media monitoring (TASR) and on the basis of its own monitoring through the AFAD Office for Quality.
At this point, we do not present feedback from employers, as employer representatives are members of the AFAD Temporary Accreditation Board.
The study plan of the new study programme is developed by the guarantor of the study programme on the basis of group working meetings with the teachers providing the given study programme, but also with other teachers who should participate in teaching in the given study programme. A representative of the student part of the academic community is part of the working meetings, and an expert from an external environment may also be invited.
The proposal of the study plan is submitted by the guarantor of the study programme for discussion to the Board of guarantors, which is also attended by the vice-rector for study affairs. The guarantor of the study programme will consider incorporating the comments of the Board of Guarantors and then submit the study plan as part of the study programme description for further processes of approving a new study programme within the internal system of ensuring the quality of education at the AFAD.
In the Visual Arts study programme, profile subjects have a specific character in the form of Studio courses. Studio courses are the most important credit component of the study programme in terms of content, difficulty of output and time allocation. Studio courses are divided into specialisations according to the media specification: Painting; Sculpture; Printmaking; Digital Arts; Photography; Intermedia; Glass, ceramics, jewellery. A mandatory component of the profile subjects of the study programme is the profile theoretical subject, the most important one regarding its scope and content: Interpretation frameworks of contemporary art, which prepares students in the field of theory and interpretation of contemporary art and at the same time reflects all the mentioned media specialisations. Studio courses and the main theoretical subject Interpretation frameworks of contemporary art are a mandatory basis for every student of the Visual Arts study programme. Successful completion of the Studio courses ends with the defence of the diploma thesis, and successful completion of the Interpretation Frameworks of Contemporary Art subject ends with a state theoretical exam. See more detailed information in the table below: Study plan.
The Visual Arts study programme is complemented by a group of compulsory optional subjects, which are divided into professional practical and professional theoretical subjects. These subjects provide a foundation towards media specialisation and at the same time deepen interdisciplinarity with respect to the world of art and culture. There are also subjects that improve language preparation in the field of contemporary art and culture and in the field of soft skills such as knowledge of copyright law, marketing in art and the skills in project and grant activities. Training in the field of soft skills is also planned in the form of block teaching and professional workshops for the up-to-date information and knowledge from practice.
A complementary group to the compulsory basis and compulsory optional subjects are optional subjects, through which students have the opportunity to transfer to other study programmes at the AFAD, such as design, architecture and restoration. This group also includes a subject enabling real practice in an external environment aimed at a wider field of cultural professions. Optional subjects are enriched by a number of subjects that, through workshops, courses, excursions and in the form of short-term education, respond dynamically to current topics of visual art by using renowned practitioners from the artistic and cultural environment, or as part of the school's internationalisation with foreign educators and practitioners.

Part of the education in the Visual Arts study programme is the possibility of internships and supplementary internships on the local and foreign scene, which, as part of the education, bring students direct contact with a professional environment in which they gain practical experience and skills. The internship is also an opportunity for students to gain new professional contacts and connections, as well as theoretical experience with benefits after graduation. At the same time, foreign mobility in the form of internships at foreign partner schools is encouraged, where they are positively confronted with educational experiences in a different cultural and social environment. They also confront their artistic work in the international field and have the opportunity to become part of international artistic and cultural networks.
As part of the wider educational process, master's students are integrated into ongoing research projects at the AFAD in the form of direct application to education or through publication and other presentation activities, which are also supported by grant systems (especially KEGA - Cultural and Educational Grant Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic) and through the presentation of creative and artistic activity (especially FPU - Slovak Art Council).

The decisive evaluation tool of educational results is the periodic semester evaluation at the committee level (the committee consists of teachers of the study programme, teachers from the Department of Theory and History of Art and includes experts from the external environment as well), which includes a mandatory presentation of the result of the students' Studio courses and at the same time its defence, which is followed by a discussion with the committee and also with all participating students and the professional public. Subsequently, the evaluation by the committee and verification by the school-wide committee consisting of members of the AFAD Pedagogical Council takes place.
In the result of students' semester works of Studio courses, the partial results of education not only from the profile subject Studio, but also from professional and theoretical subjects in the given semester or in the previous semester of the given study programme, are combined. The summaries of the semester evaluation are discussed and analysed at the meetings of the AFAD Pedagogical Board with the AFAD management, at which the positives and also the negatives of setting the results of the teaching process are identified.
Eventually, the results of the students' education are accessible to the professional and broad public (an exhibition of the whole academy in all AFAD buildings, other gallery and exhibition spaces, or as online presentations https://www.digitalnyprieskum.sk/ or on Facebook, Instagram and the AFAD website https://www.vsvu.sk/sk/udalosti/QXenZJOx/digitalny-prieskum). This creates a space for a wider confrontation of the results of education with the external subjects.

Rules for verification of education outcomes:
The decisive evaluation tool of educational results is the periodic semester evaluation at the committee level (the committee consists of teachers of the Visual Arts study programme, teachers from the Department of Theory and History of Art and includes experts from the external environment as well), which includes a mandatory presentation of the result of the students' Studio courses and at the same time its defence, which is followed by a discussion with the committee and also with all participating students and the professional public. Subsequently, the evaluation by the committee and verification by the school-wide committee consisting of members of the AFAD Pedagogical Council takes place. The academy-wide committee is led by the vice-rector for study affairs and takes place without the participation of students. To the academy-wide committee, each head of the specialised Studio will present the semester assignments, the course of education and the results of the students' works, while highlighting the extraordinary results of the students and drawing attention to the poor results of the students and presenting the individual evaluations of the committee (from A to FX). After the presentation of the educational results in the given specialised Studio, a professional discussion takes place. In the result of students' semester works of Studio courses, the partial results of education not only from the profile subject Studio, but also from professional and theoretical subjects in the given semester or in the previous semester of the Visual Arts study programme, are combined. Eventually, the results of the students' education are accessible to the professional and broad public (an exhibition of the whole academy in all AFAD buildings, other gallery, museum and exhibition spaces, in public space, in church monuments, or as online presentations https://www.digitalnyprieskum.sk/ or on Facebook, Instagram and the AFAD website https://www.vsvu.sk/sk/udalosti/QXenZJOx/digitalny-prieskum).
Evaluation of students and the possibility of corrective procedures in relation to this evaluation.
1. The evaluation of students' study results within the study of the subject is mainly carried out:
a) continuous control of study results in individual subjects during the teaching part of the study (for example, progress status, partial assignments, completion of a creative workshop, workshop, written tests, assignments for independent work, term papers, seminar paper, etc.), specified in more detail in the ILP (Information document of subject),
b) an exam for the given period of study, in the case of the profile theoretical subject Interpretive frameworks of contemporary art, is a commission exam with the participation of at least two examining teachers.
2. Grade evaluation is classified according to the classification scale determined by Decree no. 614/2002 Coll., while the qualification scale has six classification levels:
A – excellent (excellent results) = 1
B – very good (above average results) = 1.5
C – good (average results) = 2
D – satisfactory (acceptable results) = 2.5
E – sufficient (results meet the minimum criteria) = 3
FX - Insufficient (more work required) = 4
3. Within the Visual Arts study programme, optional subjects, for example Short-term educational course and Professional field trip, are evaluated by passing the subject (passed/failed).
4. Students who have been evaluated with the grade of FX in professional, practical and theoretical subjects have the right to two correction dates as long as they fulfil the conditions of the continuous evaluation. If students were evaluated with the grade FX from the Studio courses and Diploma thesis (consultations, elaboration) and met the conditions of the interim evaluation, they are entitled to one correction term. When repeatedly enrolling in any subject, including Studio courses and Diploma thesis (consultations, preparation), students have the right to only one correction date.
Students can apply for the recognition of subjects they completed in another study programme at another university. Subjects completed at another university are recognised by the AFAD on the basis of a statement of study results prepared for students by the given university and by submitting an application on the prescribed form of the AFAD (exact instructions are contained in the Application for recognition of subjects form). Recognition of subjects is bound for a period of 5 years from their completion. The recognition of subjects is assessed by the teacher or the main responsible teacher of the study programme Visual Arts who ensures its teaching, based on a list of study results and a comparison of the ILP or otherwise described educational content of the given subject. Based on the proposal of the guarantor of the Visual Arts study programme, the vice-rector for study affairs recognises completed subjects. In the master's degree, credits obtained for completing a subject in the bachelor's degree cannot be recognised. As a rule, subjects with an E grade are also not recognised. The statement of study results and the decision on the recognition of subjects become part of the student's personal study documentation, maintained by the AFAD.
The Visual Arts study programme is a new study programme and therefore we do not list the topics of the final theses.
The topics of the final theses - diploma thesis are generated individually for each student and are formulated by the thesis supervisor based on the students' previous studies and artistic orientation. They are approved by the main responsible teacher in charge of the study programme in AiS (Academic Information System). A detailed description of opposition, defence and evaluation of the final theses of the Visual Arts study programme is described in point d) of this document.

After the application is approved, a confirmation will be issued to students and then the individual possibilities of the process of making the educational process accessible will be discussed with them, about which the teachers of the study programme Conservation and Restoration will also be informed. In the case of specific requirements that the AFAD does not have at its disposal, it will promptly ensure correction and conditions for students.
– procedures for submission of impetus and appeals by students.
Students can submit impetus and appeals of various kinds in writing, by post, by e-mail or through physical mailboxes in the academy buildings:
– through the Support and Counselling Centre for AFAD students, which, based on a specific impetus or appeal, forwards the impetus to the AFAD Ethics Committee or the Study Affairs Commission of the AFAD Academic Senate or the vice-rector for study affairs.

List and characteristics of the classrooms of the Visual Arts study programme:
Profile subject Studio Courses and all compulsory optional and optional subjects with the characteristics of practical professional subjects take place in studios and workshops with a total area of 4047 m2. Studios and workshops are available to all master's degree students of the Visual Arts study programme for direct teaching (theoretical and practical education, consultations and discussions of the teacher with students) and indirect teaching (individual student work on a semester assignment or final thesis). Students use the workshops as needed for the focus of their semester or final work, or for assignments within professional practical subjects. Material storages are also an infrastructural part of studios and workshops.
Studios (rooms): A profile subject consisting of 16 Studios taught by 16 heads of studio together with 16 assistants/assistant professors. Each Studio has 1 designated room. Studio Courses take place in a vertical scheme, where bachelor's, master's and doctoral students meet in the same space and time. Depending on the current number of students in a given academic year and depending on the specialisation in the Studio, there is approximately 2 m2 of space per student. The standard equipment of the Studio is basic projection equipment (computer and data projector + wifi connection). Further equipment of the Studios depends on their specific needs (inventory lists will be available for inspection by the accreditation committee during a physical visit to the academy).
The studios are located in all three academy buildings (Hviezdoslavovo nám. 18, Drotárska cesta 44, Koceľova 23).
Digital classroom: approx. 60 m2. The digital classroom has appropriate technological equipment (inventory lists will be available for inspection by the accreditation committee during a physical visit to the academy).
The digital classroom is located in the academy building (Drotárska cesta 44).
Workshops and laboratories (rooms): Foundry, Plastering workshop, Carving workshop, Forming workshop for metal casting, Metal workshop, Screen printing workshop, Printing workshop, Etching workshop, Photo chambers, Photographic studio, Plaster workshop, Glass modelling workshop, Smelter, Editing classroom (editing room), Workshop painting technology, CNC-milling machine. Students have the opportunity to use workshops linked to other study programmes. Students book work in the workshop in the form of a request and for the time determined by the responsible workshop worker. In the reserved time, students can work on their semester assignments and final theses. At the same time, the workshop worker is responsible for protecting the health and safety of students' work and also fulfils the function of a supervisory worker in the operation and use of technical and technological equipment and material. The workshops are intended for the implementation of semester and final works and at the same time serve for the teaching of practical professional subjects.
Material resources: The academy provides basic material resources for the Visual Arts study programme. Paper, wood, plaster, clay, basic chemicals for the photo chamber, graphic printing and others are available to students. For materials necessary for the realisation of semester work or the final thesis students pay from their own resources, or the academy from grant and research projects.
The workshops are located in the academy buildings (Drotárska cesta 44 and Koceľova 23).
Lecture and seminar rooms: 5 + 5 rooms - total approx. 362 m2. Each lecture room has the appropriate technological equipment: computer, data projector, projection screen, audio equipment and Wi-Fi connection (inventory lists will be available for inspection by the accreditation committee during a physical visit to the academy).
Lecture and seminar rooms are located in the school building (Hviezdoslavovo nám. 18).
Medium Gallery: total approx. 150 m2. The Medium Gallery is used for the presentation of students' creative activities, accompanying lectures and discussion forums, or for social activities of the school's students.
The Kremnica Communication and Visualisation Learning Centre is a historical building that is used for organising workshops, seminars and conferences. It has accommodation capacities (approx. 30 people) and lecture rooms. The centre also includes sufficient technical and technological equipment. The purpose of such a centre is the opportunity to pass an intensive work week, which is part of studio courses. In the teaching centre, students concentrate on the given topic in the form of block teaching or a specially prepared workshop, for example with students from a partner studio of a foreign university. The idea is interaction between schools and concentrated creative activity and inter-studio cooperation.

The form and method of study is defined in the AFAD Study Regulations (Article 3, Forms and methods of study, points 5 to 8).
The AFAD mostly uses a combined method of education, which is indicated in the ILP (Information Document of Subject), even if the education takes place completely by distance. When changing the method of teaching a subject, its content is discussed in advance with the study programme guarantor and then with the vice-rector for academic affairs at a predetermined time (usually May–June of the previous academic year when the study plan and content of individual ILPs are checked for the next academic year). Complete distance education at the AFAD is implemented by order of the rector, especially in extraordinary situations (for example, when a state of emergency is declared).
The given study programme is defined as an academically oriented, artistic type of study, but at the same time the AFAD has created a mechanism for internships and supplementary internships, within which it cooperates with various types of institutions and companies in the local and foreign scene. In addition to permanent partners, cooperation with other partners is currently being approved. Procedures are published on the academy's website and study guide (bedeker).

https://www.vsvu.sk/en/standard-study/informations-for-students/handbook-standard/?v=8X0Q4WO0
https://www.vsvu.sk/en/
The Gallery Medium and public external spaces of the academy serve for cultural and social events at the AFAD. The gallery space is primarily devoted to exhibition activities of students and teachers of the academy, at the same time it serves as a communication space for various types of lectures and discussions, which are also open to the general public, or other social activities of teachers, students, employees, but also graduates of the academy. As part of the open-call mechanism, the gallery spaces of the academy also present exhibition projects of our partners from abroad, or the results of our international cooperation. As part of international cooperation, projects of international significance are periodically prepared (for example, the Month of Photography, Šperk stret, Poster Triennale, Biela noc and others). Another important facility of the AFAD is the Communication and Visualisation Learning Centre in Kremnica, which the academy uses for creative workshops and block education. The learning centre has accommodation facilities, lecture rooms, digital technologies and material resources. The facility is intensively used for workshops, conferences, seminars and meetings with foreign partner educational institutions and stimulates internationalisation, interaction and concentrated creative activity in a group. Thanks to its favourable geographical location, the training centre is used for sports activities in nature as part of creative stays.
Students of the Visual Arts study programme can mainly apply for Erasmus+ mobility programmes (projects KA103 and KA107), CEEPUS, programmes based on bilateral agreements and the possibilities of the National Scholarship Program focused on student, pedagogical and non-pedagogical mobility. In addition to standard mobilities, students also participate in other art and research projects, in which the AFAD creates joint international platforms with selected foreign partners and collaborates on specific artistic, exhibition, presentation, research and innovation tasks and projects. For the mobility of the study programme Visual Arts and gaining international experience, the AFAD has created a wide network of partnerships in most countries of the European Union, partner countries outside the EU in Europe (Western Balkan countries, Ukraine, Georgia), Asia (China, Japan, India, Israel, Turkey ) and America (USA, Mexico). At the same time, students of the study programme Visual Arts will have the opportunity to take advantage of a number of international workshops, lectures, seminars, educational courses and meetings of visiting foreign teachers at our school.
Equally important is the opportunity to complete a part of the study with a visiting teacher from abroad as part of the primary education. Foreign students at our academy, who come mainly as part of the Erasmus+ program, will contribute to building contacts and opportunities for future cooperation for our students. Students of the study programme Visual Arts will have the opportunity to profit from the activities of important international networks of which the AFAD is a part (Cumulus, ELIA). The international presentation activities of students are also supported by embassies of the Slovak Republic and cultural institutes of the Slovak Republic abroad. In addition to study stays, art-research and presentation activities, students of the Visual Arts study programme have the opportunity to apply for student and graduate internships in selected foreign institutions, companies and specialised studios within the Erasmus+ program.
All options, instructions and rules are made available and updated in detail on the academy's website, and at the same time they are anchored in the AFAD's internal regulations - the rector's directive: Implementation of the ERASMUS+ program at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava.
