Visual Design

The program prepares highly skilled professionals in various areas of contemporary design, able to work at the intersection of artistic thinking and modern design industries. Here, traditional academic techniques are combined with innovative technologies within a project-based, industry-oriented curriculum, opening up wide opportunities for creative self-realisation for students.

The program blends foundational art training with contemporary design practices, equipping students with professional skills in visual communication and design thinking. Rather than focusing solely on individual subjects, the curriculum prioritizes the development of a creative mindset.

• A balance of theory and practice – students explore the history of design, the humanities, and design thinking while mastering 2D and 3D techniques. This approach enables them to create impactful visual solutions in graphic, digital, and environmental design.
• Bridging traditional and innovative technologies – the curriculum integrates classical academic techniques—such as drawing, calligraphy, and photography—with cutting-edge digital tools, including artificial intelligence.
• Exhibition opportunities – students regularly showcase their work in gallery exhibitions, gaining exposure to a broad public audience and the professional art community.
• International experience – study trips to Athens, Florence, and other major European cities allow students to engage firsthand with global trends in visual arts and design.
• Seamless language adaptation – instruction begins in Russian alongside intensive English language training. A gradual transition to English-taught disciplines ensures a smooth and comfortable integration into the global academic community.
• Global perspectives – the program provides access to international coursework, Erasmus+ and GHEA21 academic exchanges, and guest lectures by leading design experts and professors from prestigious universities across Europe and the USA.
