Within the Bachelor's degree program in Performing Arts (Puppets - Marionettes), students become familiar with the artistic and technical elements specific to animation theater and get involved, under the coordination of teachers, in creating productions that emphasize contemporary trends in puppetry.
Students have the opportunity to develop their individual skills by building and practicing with the main types of puppets (from simple objects, to string puppets, from bibabo puppets, to wayang and muppets, to bunraku and shadow puppetry), experimenting with puppet animation in different theatrical registers (popular, musical, comic, experimental). The curriculum combines theoretical and practical disciplines, and students are encouraged to collaborate with other specializations to create shows within interdisciplinary creative and research teams.

Among the mandatory subjects studied are: The Art of Puppet Handling, The Art of Marionette Handling, The Art of the Actor, Stage Speech, Vocal Technique (musical knowledge, singing), History of Universal Theater, Universal Literature, Puppet Theater, etc.
