During the study process, extensive knowledge is gained about the diverse application possibilities of fiber in contemporary art. Master's students learn both - fabric surface design and three-dimensional objects, as well as the creation of classical and experimental tapestries, digital fabrics and interior items. Also, during the studies, textiles are introduced both in exhibition design and in home textiles, household items and many other areas.

In parallel with specialisation courses, students also create and develop creative, conceptual thinking. Theoretical subjects help to delve into the history of art, culture and ideas, thereby strengthening critical thinking and creative competitiveness.
