    Educational objectives and professional fields

    Educational Objectives

    Based on a critical examination of different dimensions of experience and social power relations, students develop an ethical and political stance in their professional contexts. They take responsibility for their artistic and educational activities and communicate the attitudes, strategies and perspectives that arise from them.
    In a forward-looking understanding of Art Education, collective learning, participatory project development and organisation, research-based experimentation and the formation of one's own professional practice are understood as central elements of a changing educational landscape.
    The programme concludes with a final module consisting of a Master's project that critically reflects on the student's own profession and brings together the different perspectives and activities of the programme. Students can choose between two specializations:

    • Research Practice: The final thesis (research proposal) serves as preparation for research funding or a doctoral programme.
    • Autonomous Practice: The final thesis (project design with testing) forms the basis of experience for a feasible project in professional fields of art education.
