Overview

The main purpose of the Master's Program is to train highly specialized professionals. Based on the education offered at the undergraduate level, students take both theoretical and practical courses in parallel, acquiring specialized knowledge and skills in both. We also actively accept working adults.

The final research requires both a thesis and a creative work. The results are presented in various exhibitions and academic journals, as well as in the summary book published by the Art Studies degree program and the calligraphy journal "Calligraphy and Art Research."
