Specialized areas
Master's degree graduates are fully prepared to undertake independent, individual creative activities and tasks, as well as to participate in research and design teams. They are distinguished by artistic awareness and the ability to seek original solutions in broadly understood design activities, including taking a leading role in team tasks. They are also capable of independent professional-artistic work (self-employment). Based on the acquired intellectual and creative tools, possessing high specialist qualifications, they skillfully plan their own professional career. They are prepared to undertake further education in doctoral schools in Poland and abroad, as well as lifelong learning and development, depending on the dynamics of the labor market.

Graphic design studio (PGPR) VISUALIZATION
The training area covers graphic design and related fields in a broad sense. Projects carried out in the studio include development of visual identity (including generative elements), infographics, dynamic data visualization, publication design (paper and digital), typography, UX/ UI, web and game interface design for mobile platforms. We also carry out artistic and experimental projects for which graphic design is only a starting point or supporting element. The program involves the creation of intermedia and interdisciplinary projects, using 2D and 3D, static and dynamic, created using the latest technologies (for example, AR), with engineering support.

As part of the IPPA studio, students complete an intermedia thesis. Students can prepare various forms of artistic expression depending on the scope of the specialty of the selected supervisor. The supervisor should be chosen from among:
dr hab. Andrzej Kalina
As part of the diploma, students will realize a series of 8-10 prints (depending on the size) on any chosen topic in the technique of their choice: linocut, etching, serigraphy, dry needle, algraphy, digital printing, monotype, own techniques. Completed graphics will be the inspiration for the realization of the multimedia part of the diploma by making animations for graphics, website, virtual exhibition or other proposed digital solutions.
Prof. dr hab. Tomasz Myjak
The studio combines the experience of painting, photography and camera techniques (the use of footage /moving image/animation in a non-narrative way). Many diploma works in the final become a spatial form, an installation, an experience on the verge of virtual or augmented reality. Very often the diploma work results in pure art... unencumbered by a layer of utility, but this is not the rule.

The studio can produce posters, prints, as well as films, performances, sound installations and all other forms of artistic expression. The most important aspect of their activities is the social rooting and overtone of the work in a social context, or its appearance in public space. The works may have the hallmarks of social interventions.
It can be a work with a selected social group, as well as a personal statement on a pressing issue (for example: a useful film, a series of intervention posters, a film documenting an artistic action, a performance in a public place and others). We are oriented to creative discussion, dialogue, group work (possible, but not necessary). Other artists, practitioners and theoreticians are invited to the studio for guest lectures (from fields such as philosophy, sociology, cultural studies, urban activism, gardening, nonviolent understanding, intercultural and anti-discriminatory practices).
Keywords: - feminism,- social design,- caregiving,- socially engaged film,- long-term art or social-art projects,- motherhood,- ecology,- uprecycling, coworking with communities.
prof. dr hab. Paweł Nowak
In the studio, great emphasis is placed on student creativity. The idea for the realization of the diploma is prepared together on the basis of dialogue and individual preferences. An important element is the artistic aspect. Construction of an individual context. Often in diplomas, an autobiographical context is addressed in order to achieve an individual, personal narrative. The final image of the diploma can take on any artistic character.

area Animation
The graduate-level film animation studio is designed to prepare students for the complex process of creating an animated film. In the course, students acquire advanced knowledge and practical skills in animation techniques - both traditional and digital.
The main objectives of the course are to develop creativity and individual creative skills, as well as to improve the ability to work in a production team. During the course of the diploma project, students learn to independently develop the artistic concept of the film, create a storyboard, design characters, backgrounds and animation, as well as manage the production process.
The final goal is to prepare a professional film project, which will be the result of acquired knowledge, skills and personal creative input.
