• Study program is a unit covering a certain coherent thematic field of study, e.g. Design or Fine Arts. A student is admitted to university study in a particular study program.
• Specialization (studio) represents how the student profiles within their study program. A student can study exclusively in only one studio. Study programs differ in their form, see below. Within one degree (in one study program), it is possible to transfer from one studio to another after meeting certain conditions, i.e. to change one´s study discipline or form of study.
• Bachelor´s degree programs are designed to prepare students to perform their profession, making direct use of current knowledge and methodology; they also include selected theoretical knowledge. The standard period of study, including optional work experience, is four years. Bachelor degree graduates earn an academic degree of “Bachelor of Arts" (B.A.).
• Master´s degree program and post-graduate master´s degree programs aim at both the understanding of comprehensive theoretical foundations of the particular discipline and at developing the skill to apply theory in practice. By graduating the program, the graduate receives a complete and full university education. The standard period of the master´s degree study is six years. The standard period of the follow-up master´s degree program is two or three years. Master´s degree program graduates are awarded the academic degree of “Master of Arts” (M.A.).
• Doctoral study programs focus on scientific research and independent artistic creation in the field of research and development. The standard period of study is four years. The doctoral program graduates earn the academic degree of "Doctor" (Ph.D.).
  The full-time daily form of study is a form that allows a university student to participate regularly in classes, e.g., to attend consultations, seminars, lectures and other learning activities conducted by academic staff.
• The combined form of study (formerly called distance learning) is a combination of full-time daily and distance form of study.
