General characteristics of the field of study and the assumed concept of education:
Program studiów I stopnia historii sztuki łączy zajęcia teoretyczne z praktycznymi, aby absolwenci zdobyli zarówno wykształcenie akademickie, jak i wstępne przygotowanie do pracy zawodowej. Klasyczne kursy historii sztuki powszechnej i polskiej zostały uzupełnione przedmiotami o charakterze praktycznym: muzealnictwem, konserwatorstwem, a także obowiązkowymi praktykami zawodowymi i terenowymi. Realizacja tak szeroko zakrojonego programu jest możliwa dzięki szerokim kompetencjom naukowym i zawodowym naszej kadry badawczo-dydaktycznej oraz jej współpracy z instytucjami regionalnymi. W kształceniu uwzględniono również aspekt regionalny, szczególne uwarunkowania historyczno-kulturowe Śląska i ich konsekwencje dla współczesnego obrazu tego regionu, dzięki czemu nasi absolwenci dysponują wiedzą o dziedzictwie industrialnym, aspektach jego ochrony i potencjału wykorzystania. Aby zapewnić studentom bezpośredni kontakt z dziełami sztuki, część zajęć na kierunku organizowana jest w terenie (w galeriach muzealnych, w przestrzeni miejskiej i obiektach zabytkowych). Nasi studenci mają możliwość realizacji wybranego semestru na zagranicznej uczelni w ramach programu Erasmus+, co daje im szansę na poszerzenie horyzontów, zdobycie międzynarodowego doświadczenia i rozwój kompetencji językowych.
