GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Study programme:

University undergraduate study programme

University graduate study programme

General information on the study programme:

The university undergraduate double-major study programme in Art History covers all fundamental content in the field of art history and enables students to develop existing professional competencies and acquire new ones. During the programme, students gain knowledge of artistic and cultural heritage from antiquity to the contemporary period, develop the ability to analyse and interpret works of art, and become familiar with methods of researching and protecting of cultural heritage.

Graduates with a university bachelor’s degree in Art History have the opportunity to work in cultural institutions, museums, galleries, tourism, and in associate positions on projects related to culture and heritage, as well as in occupations requiring knowledge of art history, cultural heritage, and culture in general.

The university undergraduate study programme in Art History is comparable to related programmes in the Republic of Croatia, enabling the smooth mobility of students to similar programmes at other universities in the country and abroad.

 

The university graduate double-major study programme in Art History enables students to deepen and broaden the knowledge acquired at the undergraduate level and to develop specialised competencies in the field of art history and the protection of cultural heritage. During the programme, students acquire advanced methods of research, critical analysis, and interpretation of works of art and cultural phenomena, with particular emphasis on independent research and an interdisciplinary approach.

 

Upon completion of the graduate study programme, students acquire competencies for work in museums, galleries, conservation departments, cultural institutions, scientific research projects, schools, tourism, and the media, as well as for positions related to the management, promotion, and interpretation of cultural heritage.
