Descriptions are defined for each of the three education cycles. They describe the typical achievements of students obtaining a diploma, but they are not programme/content standards; rather, they are based on the so-called generic competences of graduates. They are not specific to particular subjects or fields of knowledge – they should be interpreted in the context of the subject matter and language of the discipline.
 

A – knowledge and orientation

First cycle
students represent a level typical for advanced studies, and in addition, in the field of their basic specialisation, they take into account the latest trends resulting from the experience of leaders in a given specialisation

Second cycle  
students have the skills, knowledge and artistic orientation that enable graduates to demonstrate originality in developing and/or applying ideas in the practical and/or creative sphere, often in a research context;

Third cycle 
students demonstrate a deep and specialised orientation in their field of study and mastery of the skills and research methods related to their specialisation.

B – use of skills, knowledge and orientation        

Level 1 
students have competences in practical (executive) and/or creative activities in solving problems related to a given specialisation;

Level II 
students have the ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments, in a broader (or multidisciplinary) context related to their specialisation;

Level III 
students demonstrate the ability to create, design, apply and adapt research methods, and do so with artistic and scientific rigour.
 

C – ability to form judgements 

Level I  
students demonstrate the ability to collect and interpret relevant data;

Level II  
students demonstrate the ability to integrate knowledge and accurately interpret complex phenomena and problems, as well as to express opinions and judgements based on incomplete or limited information;

Level III

D – communication skills  

Level I 
students are able to convey information and artistic ideas, formulate thoughts, present problems and their solutions;

Level II 
students are able to convey their solutions and thoughts to professional and non-professional audiences and, if relevant to their field of study, their knowledge and its premises;

Level III 
students are able to communicate with their colleagues, the artistic and academic community, and the wider public on matters relating to their field.

E – learning skills                  

First cycle 
students have developed the learning skills necessary to continue their studies with a high degree of autonomy;

Second cycle  
students' skills will enable them to continue their autonomous studies, focused on independence;
