Study
Digital Arts at Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava is a four-year undergraduate study program.
You will create artworks, visualizations, experiments, apps, projections, virtual reality and more. On top of that, you will think, discuss and philosophize a lot about it all.
On this journey you will be assisted by experts in domains of art, technology and liberal arts during many invited lectures and workshops.
Who studies digital arts?
You don’t have to be exclusively from art school. Among our students you will find people from grammar schools, industrial schools or even other colleges.
We will help you foster your creativity and you’ll learn digital craft skills along that.
Career options
After finishing the program, you will be able to creatively handle digital content, navigate in computer thinking and design, master the basics of programming or game development. These skills open up many career opportunities.

Graduate program
Academy of Fine Arts and Design merges several undergraduate programs into a wider inter-disciplinary Master’s program.
Digital Arts graduates can either continue to the Visual Arts Master’s program or switch to the MediaLab* studio within the Design Master’s program. Enthusiasts of the theory and philosophy of art may be directed to the MA in History and Practice of Contemporary Art.
