The concept of the curriculum is based on the idea that a successful artist or designer needs a deep understanding of the art history, contemporary art theory, and its interactions with other humanities. The department encourages students to gain their knowledge actively and to cultivate their creative dispositions, and it strives to relate theoretical knowledge to the latest developments in art and design as much as possible.

A department established out of the need to provide faculty-wide teaching of subjects in the fields of 3D printing, 3D scanning, and CNC and robotic machining. In terms of personnel and technology, the department is connected to the 3D Studio, which has been successfully implementing technologically demanding spatial projects at the faculty since 2007, utilizing unique know-how and methods of digital sculpting.

The youngest department within the faculty's structure, established in 2023. In addition to professionally oriented courses in the field of design, it coordinates the operation of selected faculty-wide workshops and workplaces.
