This department provides theoretical courses and courses of English. The concept of the curriculum is based on the idea that a successful artist or designer needs a deep understanding of the art history, contemporary art theory, and its interactions with other humanities. The department encourages students to gain their knowledge actively and to cultivate their creative dispositions, and it strives to relate theoretical knowledge to the latest developments in art and design as much as possible.

Students and employees of the FFA have access to 3D technologies operated by the department. The workplace is professionally equipped with 3D printing and scanning tools, as well as CNC and robotic machining systems. 

The Department of Design was established in 2023 due to the need to ensure the operation of the newly accredited Design study programme. In addition to professionally-oriented courses in the field of design, it coordinates the operation of selected faculty-wide workshops and workplaces.

This department provides the infrastructure for the life drawing course, which is required for all FFA students; it also provides courses in painting and traditional printmaking techniques.
