Objective(s) of a study programme:
To prepare highly qualified specialists in the field of art and culture for work in the areas of scientific research, cultural sector, and public information and communication, who have the necessary knowledge of art research and communication and can create scientific, science dissemination, educational, and creative production using interdisciplinary approaches.
Learning outcomes:
The graduate will be able to name and critically evaluate the patterns of a specific cultural and artistic phenomenon, period, or problem and relate them to the latest research results and theoretical assumptions.
The graduate will know traditional and modern forms of the field of history and theory of arts; will be familiar with trends of art and science; will be aware of methods of history and theory of arts and other humanities and social sciences, and will be able to apply them in independent creative work and scientific and/or applied research.
The graduate will be able to independently accumulate, analyse, summarise, and interpret the accumulated information, contexts of artistic and cultural phenomena and their causal relations, and formulate and develop critically argued ideas and substantiate them.
The graduate will know the research methodology and its course and stages, understand the connections between theory and practice, and will be able to apply this knowledge in research and/or applied activities as well as when arguing the suitability of the chosen methods in relation to the research goal.
The graduate will be able to identify relevant cultural and art problems, formulate an original research hypothesis, and defend it with arguments, applying modern theories, methods, and practical knowledge of history and theory of arts.
The graduate will be able to select and creatively apply independently selected methods and methodologies in their research, as well as analyse, summarise, and reasonably interpret the accumulated information by evaluating it in a critical manner and understanding the limitations of the chosen methods.
The graduate will be able to constructively, reasonedly, and critically evaluate research results, determine their reliability, formulate research conclusions and recommendations, propose solutions, and identify and solve research ethics issues, following the principles of researcher ethics and social responsibility.
The graduate will be able to understand and evaluate the phenomena of art (music, theatre, cinema) from an interdisciplinary perspective, linking the transformations of these arts with the relevant socio-cultural context and international discourse of history and theory of art.

The graduate will be able to monitor and record their own and/or group’s work progress, cooperate with other research participants and/or members of the professional field, initiate, plan, and organise teamwork, and solve emerging problems, taking responsibility for their own and the team’s performance results.
The graduate will be able to professionally and reasonably communicate the conclusions of original research, knowledge of artistic phenomena, and both artistic and cultural contexts, in both written and oral forms, to specialists from their field, professionals from other fields, and the public.
The graduate will be able to assess the possibilities of professional activity and personal needs, deepen empirical and theoretical knowledge in a motivated and systematic way, independently improve professional skills and competencies, and identify and design goals for their professional activities while intentionally pursuing them.
The graduate will be able to solve professional problems independently in an unknown, changing, and interdisciplinary environment.
The graduate will understand the importance of cultural values, cultural diversity, and moral responsibility for the impact of scientific and creative activities on the environmental, social, cultural, and economic development of society.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Taking into account the results of the programme, the characteristics of a separate study subject (module), and different forms of organisation of study activities (lectures, seminars, consultations, independent work, practical classes, teamwork, study internship), the following teaching and study methods are used:
• teaching/learning methods applied during lectures, seminars, and consultations attributed to the traditional concept of studies: presentation of theoretical material; explanation, illustration, and interpretation; presentation, analysis, interpretation, and discussion of practical examples; demonstration, viewing, listening, and interpretation of video and audio recordings;
• teaching/learning methods applied through interactive lectures, seminars, practical classes, independent and teamwork, focused on an active way of studying: discussions; debate; brainstorming; group work; case studies; problem-solving discussions in groups; independent analysis of study material; independent performance of an individual task (oral presentations, written works, creative projects, etc.); performing a team task; presentation of individual and/or team assignments in oral or written form; public presentations, evaluations and discussions of independent and/or teamwork;
• teaching/learning methods applied when using a virtual environment during traditional, distance, or blended studies: video and audio conferencing; video and audio lectures; subject (module) distance teaching/learning courses.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Written and oral surveys, testing, written works, compiling a bibliography, review of literature and other sources of information, essay writing, oral presentations, presentations, practice, project activities (individual and in groups), project and individual work reports, case studies, research work, assessment of learning achievement portfolios, self-assessment, collegial assessment, public discussions, computer testing and the like.
The system of assessment of students’ study results is based on the following principles:
• validity and reliability: assessment is linked to the objectives of the study programme and is carried out in several aspects;
• assessment of skills, knowledge, and consistency of studies;
• impartiality, objectivity and clarity;
• evaluation based on the principle of openness and collegiality;
• principle of cumulative score;
• principle of feedback: when the lecturer works individually with the student, the assessment of the student’s achievements as well as recommendations for further creative pursuits and solutions are presented, and discussions are held.
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
Subjects of the field of study, subjects of another field, elective subjects, final master’s thesis.
Specialisations:
Ethnomusicology
Musicology
Theatre Studies
Film Studies
Distinctive features of a study programme:
This is the only second-cycle study programme in Lithuania that combines the studies of ethnomusicology, musicology, theatre studies, and film studies and ensures a close connection between theory and practice. The programme opens up wider opportunities for students to engage in professional and creative activities, further studies, or academic careers.
Students can combine practical experience gained in lower-cycle studies with art research.
Access to professional activity:
Graduates can work in science, art, culture, education, media, cultural policy, creative industries, and other fields in the public, non-governmental, or private sector; independently initiate and implement scientific, educational, and creative projects; carry out research or applied activities.
Access to further study:
Upon successful completion of the Art Research and Communication studies and acquisition of the Master’s Qualification Degree in History and Theory of Art, graduates may continue studying in doctoral research studies.
