Academy of Arts and Culture
| The Academy of Arts and Culture in Osijek is an institution of higher education which is, in many respects, quite unique within and outside the borders of the Republic of Croatia since it offers study programmes and grants degrees in art, social sciences, humanities and interdisciplinary fields of science and art, making it an institution of broad views that is open to different types of students where they can acquire artistic and scientific competence in order to be able to live and work in contemporary society. The Academy of Arts and Culture in Osijek is a stimulating, provocative and creative place of study for all future students who wish to acquire knowledge in the fields of music, theatre, applied and visual arts as well as media culture and cultural management. It was founded in 2018 by merging the Academy of Arts in Osijek and the Department of Cultural Studies of the University of Josip Juraj Strossmayer in Osijek and it is a legal successor to them both. The Academy runs university undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate artistic and scientific studies and it equally develops top artistic creation and scientific-research work. |

| Graduate | |
| Study of Acting | The graduate study of acting is for those who have really decided to dedicate their lives to the theatre. But not just to the theatre, to film, television and currently so popular drama serials and sitcoms too |
| Study of Costume Design for Stage, Screen and Multimedia | We are proud to state that this is the first graduate artistic study of costume design in Croatia. We are not trying to brag, we just want to inform you that, if you like historical and contemporary costumes, |
| Study of Fine Arts Education | You have chosen the graduate study of fine arts education and you think you are an artist already. Hold on, there are two super exciting years ahead. |
| Study of Illustration | There were illustrations even before the famous Rembrandt, there were comic books before Marvel. Okay, you know about the Palaeolithic drawings in Altamira and Lascaux but you are not here because of that. |
| Study of Management in Culture and Creative Industries | This study will not teach you “to sell” what artists and creative people of all sorts produce. This study is about the active participation in the creation of social values. |
| Study of Media and Public Relations | If you have chosen the graduate study media and public relations, it means you have been seduced by communication, all kinds of networks and the irresistible call of public relations. |
| Study of Music Education | The graduate study of music education is for those who believe that music can change society. For the better, of course. Today, music education is not restricted to teaching, although it is good to know that our students will easily find work in primary and secondary, |
| Study of Non-verbal Theatre | This study does not hate words. It loves them, but it loves bodies even more, their movements, meetings and conflicts, the speech that the contact between them creates. |
| Study of Piano | Once you get to the graduate study, and this is especially true in such complex music professions like the piano, your interests are already clearly defined |
| Study of Puppet Animation | The world of animation is a world of absolute freedom. You can animate anything: hand, puppet, object, space, material, sound. |
| Study of Puppetry Directing | Just as puppets need animators, puppet plays need puppetry directors. So, choose this study and become one of the first directors in Croatia who will devote their attention to objects which live only on the stage. |
| Study of Puppet for Stage, Screen and Multimedia | This study will show you the fine details of puppet design. You will learn to make a puppet and use it in the new media. This may seem a bit strange but it is true: you will be the bridge between the traditional theatre and the broad array of modelling media, especially those that focus on the contemporary theatre, television and film productions |
| Study of Set Design for Stage, Screen and Multimedia | The theatre is more than just the actors and the stage sets are more than just a table and a chair on the stage. In other words, there is more to it. |
| Study of Tambura Artistry | The tambura is an all-present instrument in our region and we meet this instrument in many musical, cultural and historical discourses that we wish to show you here |
| Study of Voice | Singers learn as long as they live, not only during their education. Each new concert, each new role is a new challenge and a new opportunity to prove one’s worth. |
