Course detail
Diploma Project Seminar
FaVU-4DPSAcad. year: 2026/2027
In the diploma seminar, students focus mainly on preparing the practical part of their Diploma Project. In doing so, they leverage the theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired during their studies and demonstrate an understanding of the creative and critical demands of contemporary art/design. Students consult the ongoing results of their work with their Diploma Project supervisors, who provide practical support for their efforts aimed at creating an original artistic/design output and its successful presentation and defense. In addition to creating the diploma project, students must also submit its documentation, which includes both visual and textual components. This documentation is conducted under the supervision of a faculty member from the Department of Art History and Theory. The Diploma Project Seminar culminates in the submission of the electronic documentation of the thesis to the university information system.
