Study programs and syllabuses
The program of part-time studies at the Faculty of New Media Arts, Second Degree Studies as of 2024/2025 has been shortened by one semester and also unified with the full-time, full-time program.
All compulsory lectures and exercise classes taught in full-time studies are included in part-time studies in adjusted hourly terms and as elective subjects, which gives students a wider area of opportunities to build their own program of study, tailored to student preferences. There has also been a change in the way diploma studios are implemented, which from the 2024/2025 academic year will be elective from the 4 available subject studios. The new atelier system will be in effect from the 2nd semester of study, for 3 consecutive semesters, until graduation.
Elective studios are accompanied by specialized elective subjects that deepen students' knowledge in a selected specialized area. The change in the way diploma labs are implemented is a key element of the new part-time program.
The introduced change will allow the creation of class groups for selected studios, and the implemented curriculum - tailored to the type of diploma studios - will depend on the interests of the student.
Regardless, the program has been supplemented with new lectures and exercises that have not been conducted before, which will greatly expand the knowledge students acquire in the course of their studies.
Rules of the Diploma Examination for NeMA
The thesis defense should take place after five semesters of study at the Faculty of New Media Arts. The principles and topics of the thesis should be consulted on an ongoing basis with the thesis supervisors: major, technical and theoretical.

Developing previously developed compositional awareness, confronting challenges at a higher level of abstraction. Working with multi-element arrangements in 2.5-3D graphics and animation. Animation synchronized with music.
The course focuses on the problems of movement, rhythm, synchronicity in relation to specific tool strategies related to graphic design computer and multimedia (image , sound, word). Practice in digital graphics, editing, image post-production (bitmap, video image), 2D (2.5 D) raster and vector animation with elements of sound design (postsynchron and pre-synchron). The goal is to create an individual original project for a specific audience and type of application (e.g. motion design, music visualization, moving typography, music video, etc.).
Improvement of graphic design workshop; application of computer techniques in graphic design workshop.
Creating a series of graphics in a chosen technique.
The aim of the course is to provide knowledge of advanced sound processing, including informed design decisions and the use of professional terminology.
