The bridge connecting artistic practice and theory, individual and group artistic creation, professionalism, and artistic freedom and endeavors to connect different artistic and theoretical disciplines in a multidisciplinary way, represent the essential teaching distinctiveness of the University of Arts and ensure its high position among related institutions. More than anything else, the University of Arts is about people, its students, and professors – the most talented, creative, dedicated, and worthy individuals. This is why our vision encompasses all our student's and professors' distinctive personal and individual vision in their endeavor to reach their full potential as artists and scientists. Our mission is to make sure that the UniversityUniversity remains the place where this vision becomes a reality.

We will also encourage new study programs based on the synthesis or interweaving of classical artistic disciplines, enabling internal student mobility, a broader and more diverse range of elective subjects, and, ultimately, become the integrated UniversityUniversity as recognized by the European education system.

The successful development of the UniversityUniversity is conditioned by students' participation in the work of university bodies and the engagement of their representatives in the decision-making process.
