Skills: A graduate of the Institute of the Cultural Studies is a person who is able to assess the most important achievements of creative disciplines: literature, film, theatre, music, fine arts, applied art.

Creativity: The objective of the studies is to prepare the students for independent participation in various  forms of cultural activity. These include, in particular: literary, film and theatre criticism; promotion of national heritage; intercultural communication; cultural exchange; journalism; editorship.

Mobility: We believe that among the major factors facilitating acquisition of the qualifications mentioned above and affecting significantly the ability of the graduates to build their own careers and their competitiveness such as expertise and practical skills there are the knowledge of different cultures and fluency in foreign languages. Students can develop these cultural skills by benefiting from Erasmus foreign scholarship programs, in which our university participates.
