In the study year 2009/2010 the Academy of Fine Arts and Design began with new three-year undergraduate study programmes, prepared in accordance with the Bologna Declaration. The change to the Bologna programme meant that in the academic year 2011/2012 new enrollees in the  postgraduate study programmes were not accepted. The new postgraduate study programmes (2nd and 3rd cycle Bologna programmes) began in the academic year 2012/2013.


== International cooperation ==
Since 1995 the Department of Design has been a member of the CEEPUS international student/teachers exchange network. The ongoing cooperation with numerous academies and faculties is also evolving within the Socrates, Erasmus, and similar programmes. The Department of Design has participated regularly in the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID) and ICOGRADA congresses, as well as in international design exhibitions and competitions.
