What is the degree program about?
The degree program focuses on the pedagogical-psychological potential of artistic action: How does it affect human development in different phases and situations of life? How can it be used pedagogically? The students combine basics from psychology, art history and pedagogy with their own artistic work. They conceive, realize and evaluate projects in different art pedagogical contexts and try out scientific work in the process. Through direct links to educational research, students receive solid training in research methods.

The program extends over four semesters and always begins in the winter semester. In each of the first three semesters, three graded modules must be completed. In the fourth semester, the graded master’s thesis is written.
The first semester consists of the art education module “Biography and Art Education” and two import modules from art history and education. In the second semester, there is an import module from psychology in addition to two art pedagogical modules, “Art Pedagogical Project” and “Artistic Action”. In the third semester, students complete an internship, a module from empirical educational research and the art pedagogical module “Man in the Mirror of Artistic Action”.
