Form of study: full-time Language of study: Czech
The study programme of the Master's degree has its basis in the knowledge and skills obtained during the Bachelor's degree programme in the area of theory and actual restoration activity on specific works of art and concentrates on expanding and widening them. It is assumed that applicants for the Master's degree programme are predominantly Bachelor's degree graduates of the Faculty of Restoration or from other universities with a related field of study in the Czech Republic or abroad. Acceptance conditions require meeting pre-defined requirements by the applicant, regardless of which school the Bachelor's degree is gained from.
Whilst carrying out their Master's degree project, the students plan their activities independently and consult all the stages with their chosen consultants. The course's main objective is to gain highly specialised knowledge and skills; besides that, students will acquire a qualitative and complex overview of the interdisciplinary aspects of the respective fields of restoration of works of art and cultural records of the past. Students will learn how to autonomously approach the study of literature, the interpretation of results of natural scientific exploration related to the restored object, and the results of conservation research relating to the formulation of a restoration intervention concept. During practical lessons in the second year of Master's studies, students acquire specific knowledge and skills within the framework of a chosen individual study plan. Students plan their activities and define the work concept independently. They carry out their practical training individually on specific works of art (also outside of the faculty studio) under the guidance of academic tutors. Students choose further steps of their conservation and restoration specialisation through tasks directly assigned in the study and their choice of topic for their practical Master's thesis.
