Программа обучения "Art History" в Georg-August-Universität Göttingen

Kunstgeschichte

The subject of study in Art History is the historical development of objects in European and Western cultural history from the Early Middle Ages to the present. The objects of art history are divided into various specific categories: architecture, sculpture, painting, graphic arts and applied arts, as well as photography, film and the digitally created images of the new media. Art History examines the function, distribution and perception of images and the cultural processes by which they have acquired their status as works of art. The degree programme conveys various ways of viewing objects, working methods and ways to handle and examine the objects. The sources of art history, art criticism and art theory are also studied, as well as the history of the subject itself and its institutions.

Описание программы обучения "Art History"

A speciality of the institute in Göttingen is curatorial training with the institute's art collection, ranging from use of the objects in teaching to training students to organise their own exhibitions. The courses offered include regular excursions inside and outside Germany and periods of study abroad at European partner universities. The art history department in Göttingen is a member of interdisciplinary centres, degree programmes and research associations. It also cooperates closely with the disciplines of archaeology, history and cultural sciences at Göttingen University.

Карьерные перспективы по завершению программы обучения "Art History"

The occupational fields for art history include employment in museums, in the preservation of monuments or at a university, but also in galleries, the art trade, tourism, the publishing industry, newspapers and magazines, media institutions, insurance companies and all areas of cultural administration. A degree in Art History is intended to qualify graduates for all of these occupational fields and requires on the one hand a wide range of courses, but on the other hand targeted setting of priorities towards the end of the degree programme. To strengthen the competitiveness of our students on the international labour market, the proportion of practice-oriented modules is significantly increased during the academic year preceding graduation. Here we make use of our specific locational advantages in Göttingen: the subject-related orientation of our own teaching staff, the neighbouring disciplines and, as a special asset, the University's own art collection. The B.A. degree covers the core areas of the subject and enables graduates to study for a Master's degree either in Göttingen or at other German or international universities. The Master's degree programme qualifies graduates in particular for a scientific career at universities or non-university, subject-related research institutions, museums and classical and modern art collections in Germany and abroad and preservation of monuments, and beyond the occupational fields named, it is also a prerequisite for admission to the doctoral degree course programme in Art History.

Ожидаемые результаты программы обучения "Art History"

The graduates have mastered the fundamental questions and methodology discussions of the subject from both systematic and historic perspectives, including expert description of objects and their material attributes, analysis of form and content, and placement of such objects in the art historical, political, social and ideological context of a certain period. They are able to describe, analyse and categorise works of different media and categories together with their relevant sources using expert terminology, and also qualified to identify, focus on and deal with scientific questions, and develop new perspectives of research. Moreover, they have mastered the most important subject-related types of text and are able to present results and research questions in writing as well as orally, and contribute such presentations to subject-related discourse. They have also acquired the ability for independent methodological reflection.

Учебный план программы обучения "Art History"

The programme of studies in the B.A. subject Art History conveys to students comprehensive, fundamental knowledge of major works, categories, subject-related terminology, artistic techniques, theories and methods of European art history from post-antiquity to the global present, including elementary knowledge of subject-related occupational fields. Following a methodology- and terminology-oriented introductory phase during the first year, the 2nd to 5th semesters serve to acquire knowledge and skills by way of exemplary learning. In the 5th semester, students can choose between a practical profile and an explicitly scientific profile. The former focuses mainly on practical skills to prepare students for professional work; a mandatory internship of at least three weeks serves to develop the practical skills acquired during study and helps students to make contacts at an early stage. The scientific profile offers students the opportunity to choose more freely than before from the range of courses available and thus define their own thematic and epoch-oriented areas of specialisation. This ensures qualified preparation for a more scientifically oriented Master's degree programme. In addition, students can expand their foreign language skills and learn new languages in courses offered by the language centre. It is also possible to study for one or two semesters at one of our foreign partner universities, for example in Venice or Barcelona. In planning a period of study abroad, students will receive advice and support from the department.

Recommended combinations of subjects

Combinations with almost all subjects of the Faculty of Humanities can be recommended. Classical and Christian archaeology as well as prehistory and early history examine cultural aspects from periods dating back to before those analysed by art history, but are still relevant as sources of tradition right up to modern times. Since extensive language skills are required for adequate study of this subject and its representation later on, the choice of a European foreign language as a subsidiary subject may be useful, but with a view to the private sector of art also business administration, law or subjects offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences.

    Faculty of Humanities
    Georg-August-Universität Göttingen

    The Faculty of Humanities combines the humanities and cultural studies at the University of Göttingen. Here, “culture” is understood to be the sum of all things and conceptions that humankind has gained in the course of its history and used to find its own significance – language, pictures, sounds, social rules, religions, aesthetics, contemplation of its own existence – as well as transcending boundaries through science and discovery of the world.

    It is the largest Faculty in Göttingen with 90 professors, over 4000 students and more than 40 subjects with over 300 possible combinations. It regularly obtains top places in rankings across Germany and internationally.
