Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →What you study
The objective of studies in Fine Arts is the development of an independent artistic identity. Studying qualifies students to implement their own artistic/creative ideas, to assess the quality of their works, to put them in a theorectically relevant context and to present them accordingly. Within the framework of the Bachelor’s programme fundamentals, they develop practical, theoretical and creative abilities. In projects outside the university they make their creative approaches tangible with regard to possible forms of presentation. The studies are to enable them to formualte their own positions and reactions. Accompanying this specialised training students are made aware of the operating system “art” also in relation to its social relevance.
