The study of art history is structured:

• thematically according to the genres of architecture, painting, sculpture and applied art as well as the new art forms of the 20th century,
• iconographically according to religious, mythological and profane content and their respective objects,
• methodically according to a spectrum of questions: analysis of the forms, evaluation of written sources, cultural and social-historical aspects and iconology.

Another important part of the course is the history of the subject itself - the development of its theoretical, methodological and aesthetic positions.

Through the acquisition of the most important art-related skills and methods as well as information, communication and presentation skills, the bachelor's degree enables students to deal with works of art and art-historical contexts from the early Middle Ages to the present in European or increasingly modern global space, modern or modern.
