The One-Year Course is a comprehensive, intensive program designed for students who wish to develop a broad range of knowledge, practical techniques, and professional skills in their chosen field of study.
Practical classes in the major subject are complemented by challenging assignments, individual projects, and Basic Art Lessons that provide a strong foundation in Italian art and design.
Students also expand their artistic perspective beyond their specialization through weekly guided Art Visits and monthly Art Stages, engaging directly with Florence’s rich artistic and cultural heritage.
By the end of the program, students will have developed both a solid foundation in the fine arts and advanced, discipline-specific skills within a stimulating international learning environment.
Diplomas are awarded to students who successfully pass the final examination.
The Semester Course offers an intensive and focused learning experience for students who wish to develop their artistic skills and deepen their knowledge in a specific field of study.

The Painting & Drawing Master Course is designed for advanced, highly motivated, and self-directed students committed to developing an independent artistic practice in painting and drawing.
Students work closely with a dedicated faculty representing a broad range of contemporary approaches. Individual vision, critical inquiry, and experimentation are encouraged through primarily tutorial-based instruction. Students develop their work independently in the studio, with regular guidance and feedback from faculty members.
Studio practice is enriched by graduate classes, seminars, and interdisciplinary exchange with fellow Master students. The program also includes the study of art history, theory, and criticism, enabling students to place their work in both contemporary and historical contexts.
At the end of the academic year, faculty members meet with each student to review progress toward the diploma. The One-Year Master Course culminates in a thesis exhibition, presenting the student’s final body of work.
