    Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wroclaw is a state university. It educates students on full-time studies and part-time studies in seven directions in four faculties. Lectures, classes, seminars, and discussion sessions illustrated with visits to the museum collections and important places (monuments, artistic institutions), reproductions, slides, and films as well as participation in artistic events and commenting on them - these are the major forms of education provided by our Institute for students from their first to the fifth year.
    The basic course of the history of art covers subsequent cultures and civilizations, from the Paleolithic phase to the latest phenomena pervading artistic culture. The history of philosophy makes students acquainted with traditional philosophical problems and disciplines (from the Greeks to the 20th-century philosophy). Theory and history of culture present a broader anthropological context and relations between art and major aesthetic ideas as well as development tendencies in various epochs.
    The Library and the Information and Documentation Centre are the basis for a uniform school library and information system. They fulfill the function of a generally accessible library and a center for artistic and scientific information. And they form a link in the national library network and academic information exchange. The library collections include about 14 thousand books, 1,000 magazine volumes, and 3,700 catalogs from Polish and foreign exhibitions. Some valuable, not easily available, and unique items can be found among them.
    The library makes its collections of books and magazines available all year round. Six hundred readers a month use the library services. The reading room provides specialist artistic magazines national and foreign, such as Art in America, Artnews, Ceramics, Design, Domus, Form, Graphics, Kunstforum, or Neues Glass among others. The information and documentation center collects, documents, and makes available school bibliographical materials and propagates information about the lives and artistic achievements of its educators, students, and graduates (bound publications, exhibition catalogs, continual publications, publications from magazines, etc.). It develops and promotes information signaling artistic events in Poland and worldwide for the school and artistic circles in Lower Silesia.
    The center co-operates with prominent national museums and galleries by exchanging information and publications dealing with the more important artistic events. The center produces graphic reproductions in the scope referred to above, for the library as well as about materials requested by educators, students, and the public.
    The basic form of instruction are classes offered for graduates interested in the problems of contemporary plastic arts and the development of their artistic predisposition. The studies last two years (four semesters). If the student has changed the major studio it is possible either to come back to the former one or to prepare the work in the studio chosen during the third semester. The classes on painting and drawing are continued. Also, theoretical lectures are still provided and are concluded with a test.
    The fourth semester closes with a review of conclusive major works and painting and drawing pieces. This open review is performed by an examination board. The works are appraised by the board constituted by all educators responsible for the major classes, the manager of the painting and drawing studio, representatives of the academy management, and the manager of the Postgraduate College. Based on a secret vote, the board decides on the marks. Graduates from the College receive certificates of completing the Postgraduate College. Those who have graduated from the College and are interested in continuing classes in the major studios may enroll in a two-year major specialization, available also for the AFA graduates wishing to acquire an additional specialization.
    In the academic year 2001/2002, as a result of an agreement reached between the Chancellors of AFA, AM (Musical Academy) and PWST (State High Theatrical School) out-of-town branches, the Postgraduate Col-lege opened a "Study of Performance Space". Classes, planned for two semesters, are organized by educators from the three schools mentioned above and by lecturers invited from other artistic centers and institutions. Graduates from the AFA (plastic arts studies) may receive certificates of completing the above educational program.
