The Study
Arts Management and Cultural Work as the shaping of social and aesthetic processes
The study of Arts Management and Cultural Work prepares students for cultural mediating and cultural producing fields of activity in the non-profit and profit sector. It qualifies students to intervene and mediate at the interfaces of artistic production, public interest and the market. Cultural workers acquire an understanding of the historicity and dynamics of culture, are able to critically reflect on it, and can justifiably defend their own responsible actions in current debates. The program comprises four central teaching areas: Cultural and Social Change, Culture and Management, Culture and Mediation, Media Cultural Work.
Is this course of study a good fit for you?
A central focus throughout the program is on project work. As a cross-sectional discipline, it is represented by all teaching areas of the study program. The teaching of theoretical and practical basic knowledge is followed by the implementation in practice. You develop a project idea in a working group and carry out the project independently. This results in a wide variety of projects (exhibition, concert, discussion series, reading, etc.). International arts management and cultural work forms a special focus, to which the degree program has been dedicated since its inception. Our study structure allows you to complete one or two semesters abroad.

2nd appointment round on 21.07. and 22.07.2022
Applicants who meet the admission requirements will participate in the procedure for the allocation of study places.
In the allocation procedure for the first semester of study, the following are deducted in advance from the number of study places to be allocated:
