VA Curricula
It’s possible to miss only 6 credits for 2 theoretical lectures mandatory for your discipline and transfer these to the following semester; if you don’t have enough credits by mid-September, you must repeat the whole academic year again (and pay a reduced tuition again). The total number of theoretical lectures you must attend during the two years of your studies is 8 lectures mandatory for your discipline (10 for architecture students.
To be able to graduate from the master’s degree program, you must gain 120 credits (4 semesters x 30 credits) by the day of the graduation ceremony (180 credits in three-year architecture study program). For more details, see the Study Plans section on the UMPRUM intranet.
First-year students (and second-year architecture)
- group and individual consultations in your studio (e.g. Type Design and Typography, Fine Arts III, etc.)
- VA meetings with the VA tutor
- four theoretical lectures mandatory for your discipline (to have 8 x 3 credits by mid-September at least one elective seminar/workshop
- presentation (and installation) of your end-of-semester project called klauzura
In the second half of September 2027 (one day between 21th and 23rd September), you will have to sit the state exam. The state exam is an in-person exam about the history and theory of art and visual culture in general. The questions / topics you will be asked to present are based on the topics that are covered in the theoretical lectures you attended in the first year of your studies. They can be found on the intranet.
This is what the state examination usually looks like: you will be asked to come in the examination room, draw two numbers, i.e. two topics, and you will then have 20 minutes for preparation, and 20 minutes for the presentation of the two topics/ questions before a jury consisting of at least 3 experts on the particular fields (fine arts, graphics, applied arts and design, and architecture). The first question will be on the theory of art in general, and the second one will concern the history of the discipline you are gaining your MFA in (Fine Arts, Design, Applied Arts, Architecture, Graphics). Note: You have three attempts at passing the final state exam, however, if you happen to fail for the third time, your studies will have to be terminated.
Diploma students (i.e. second-year students + third-year architecture students)
- consultations in your studio (these meetings are called Diploma Seminar 1 – Diploma Project in Progress)
- more theoretical lectures (mandatory for your field if necessary) to earn 80 credits by January 2026
- Creative Research seminar
- individual consultations with your thesis consultant (these are called Diploma Seminar 2 – Diploma Thesis in Progress). The consultant should guide you through the process of writing your thesis, which is a crucial part of your diploma project. The thesis should explain or thematically accompany your diploma project and must around 20 pages long (at least 1800 characters × 20 in total) The deadline for submitting the first part of the thesis (at least 10 pages of text) to the consultant of your project is mid-January. For more details how to write the thesis, see the intranet.
By mid-October, you will have to submit your diploma work topic (i.e. a filled-in diploma form) to the VA Coordinator and the name of your consultant, i.e. a person you consult your thesis with. The form and the list of recommended consultants you will have to email to can be found on the UMPRUM intranet. The form must be signed by both the consultant and the head of your studio and the consultant you addressed to prove that they approve of the topic you are planning on dealing with for one year in your diploma project.
You don’t have to present your end-of-semester/ klauzura work for winter semester in January 2027; you will present half of your thesis instead.
- Diploma Seminar 1 – Diploma Project in Progress tutored by the heads of your studio
- Diploma Seminar 2 – Diploma Thesis in Progress tutored by your thesis consultant
- Submission of your diploma thesis (the written part) in May 2027
The thesis must be around 20-25 pages long (at least 1800 characters × 20 in total) and printed out in two copies, preferably with hard covers and in A4 format. The thesis must be signed by your consultant and submitted to the VA Coordinator (together with a USB containing the thesis and photos of your diploma project) by the end of May 2027. One copy will go to the VA Coordinator, and the other one must be placed next to your diploma project during your diploma defence and the diploma exhibition; don’t forget to email the electronic version of your thesis both to your thesis opponent and the head of your studio. More info can be found here. - Installation and presentation of your diploma project in May/June 2027 Your work can be installed preferably at UMPRUM together with other students’ works or in a gallery you happen to have a chance to exhibit at. Each presented diploma project must have an opponent – an expert in the field who is not employed by UMPRUM – who will write an opponent’s paper on your work. The name of a suitable opponent will be recommended to you by the heads of your studio by the beginning of May; your task will be to contact them and ask them if they can be your opponents.
IMPORTANT!! You don´t have to take up any other classes and you can focus on finishing your thesis and diploma project.
The presentation lasts 30 minutes. First, the head of your studio/diploma project introduces you to the diploma jury. Second, you will be expected to give a structured presentation about your diploma project for a maximum of max. of 10 minutes. Third, the head of your studio/diploma project and the opponent of your diploma read their reviews/evaluation papers (you have the right to respond to their reviews). Fourth, all jury members discuss your diploma with you and verbally evaluate your work. The jury then conducts a closed-door debate on the proposed grade, taking into account the suggestions of the opponent and the head of the graduation project. The evaluation is announced after the defence. The diploma jury consists of two external members, one member of the Department of Theory and History of Art at UMPRUM, and (nearly all) professors and/or PhD students of the Department your studio belongs to.
Students who postpone their diploma for one year
If you decided to postpone your diploma, the only classes you must attend during the whole academic year are:- more theoretical lectures mandatory for your field (to earn 30 more credits)
- and Creative Research seminar.
Consultations
Studio consultations
Once or twice a week, usually on Mondays and Thursdays. Obligatory for all students.
Attendance and work in the studio VA students are accepted to (e.g. Photography II, Fine Arts III, Illustration and Graphics, etc.)
is the most important part of the VA curricula. Your studio is the place where you are expected to spend most of your time,
discuss with your fellow Czech and international students, consult your work in progress with your studio heads
during regular consultations, work on semestral assignments, install your end-of-semester project called “klauzura”
both in winter and spring semesters (January, June) and present it in front of a jury.
Note: The semester work (i.e. work on minor assignments and your attendance of consultations) is assessed
by the heads of the studio, and the klauzura project is evaluated and graded by the summoned jury.
“Klauzura” is a term used at UMPRUM for the end-of-semester project that you must present in your respective studios at the end of both winter and spring semesters in the first year of your studies (and in the second year for architects). Klauzura/Klauzury is sometimes also used as a general name of the UMPRUM exhibition showing the work of all UMPRUM students. The klauzura presentations always happen at the end of January (winter semester klauzuras) and mid-June (spring semester klauzuras) when all UMPRUM students from all studios present their work to/before all other students from their studio and the klauzura jury. The klauzura jury consists of one external member, at least one representative of each studio presenting on that day, one member of the Department of Theory and History of Art at UMPRUM, and a selected number of professors and/or PhD students of the Department your studio belongs to. On the presentation day, you will be expected to give a structured presentation of your klauzura work (10 minutes max.), then each jury member will be supposed to engage in a joint critical debate with you and verbally evaluate your work. The jury then further evaluates your work behind closed doors (usually at the end of the whole day). For the grading system, click here
VA Meetings
Once a week. Obligatory for all students. VA Tutor Conrad Eric Armstrong
Group VA meetings are an open space for VA students to generate new opportunities through collaboration and
sharing of experiences, ideas and knowledge. They are designed for all first-year and second-year (or third-year)
Visual Arts students from all studios and cultural backgrounds to come, share and learn together.
Thanks to the vibrant environment and communication during these group meetings, all VA students can test their
own critical thinking, opinions and views, find different perspectives about their own work, and with the help of
others, shape and pursue their projects in new and interesting ways.
The meetings, group activities and
exhibitions are organized by a VA tutor who provides students with both theoretical and practical assistance.
All VA tutors offer students a broad variety of topics and forms of engagement: the meetings usually involve group
discussions on various topics (brought by the tutor or the students), student presentations, screenings,
skill-share workshops, tours, guest visits, visits to various Prague museums, galleries, and institutions,
and last but not least, one-day or two-day field trips outside of Prague. The tutor also curates a group VA exhibition
which is held once an academic year in Prague. With Conrad Armstrong as the VA tutor,
the regular VA meetings first and foremost aim to create opportunities for students to benefit from the diverse
abilities and perspectives of their colleagues.
The meetings will consist of guest speakers, visits to sites of
interest, workshops, and team projects (including exhibitions). This varied program aims to provide a shared
experience that will complement everyone’s creative practice and collaborative abilities.

Listening to music and watching short videos will be an essential part of the lectures.
Harvesting Contemporary Art (Václav Janoščík)
Elective course, highly recommended to all Fine Arts students
The course should provide and invite VA students to a tour of social and theoretical ecologies of contemporary Czech and International Art. That means that rather than using art historical, descriptive, artwork/artist centred or chronological approach, the course will try to keep track of their social and knowledge-based contexts. Harvesting refers to a key concept of Documenta 15 (2022), where the community (viewers-artists-activist…) are invited to share resources not only by their appreciation (watching, listening…) but also by co-creation and active usage. In this way the course will try not to worship the tradition, authoritative figures, groundbreaking exhibitions or genius ideas, but in the opposite direction, try to take part in the process we call contemporary art. The course is supposed to be as accessible as possible, nonetheless basic orientation in current art, basic writing experiences and engaged respectful approach will be needed. Overall, it should expand your critical abilities and knowledge and help you in preparation for the final state exam.
Performance and Performativity in Contemporary Art (Michal Novotný)
Series of lectures four times a winter or spring semester (every other year)
The course will introduce students to abridged history of modern and contemporary art performance since Futurism to nowadays Post-Digital practices. The lectures will however not focus only on live art, but on performativity as crucial element of contemporary art in general. Students will gain insight into wider sociological and philosophical context that resulted in exhibition and exhibiting becoming the main medium and practice of art. Fundamental terminology from the concept of Theatricality to Extreme Self will be explained and discussed.
Artistic Research (Tereza Stehlíková)
Every other week in winter semester (every other year)
This course will introduce participants to some of the principles of the existing artistic research methods, both through theory but also through practice. It will provide them with examples and tools for devising their own creative methods, suited to their own unique projects. Additionally, we will work with ways of reflecting on and analysing the outcomes, through a range of techniques and explore the ways these can become formalised and built upon. This is important in terms of pushing the boundaries of students’ own practice.
Chapters from the History of Animation (Michaela Režová)
The course provides an overview of the history of cinematography from its beginnings, moving on to the beginnings of world animation and then turning to Czechoslovak and Czech animation. A series of lectures with screenings of selected key films. The works are viewed in the context of today's animated filmmaking.
