Culture and Management, B.A.
All experts, decision-makers and consumers agree on one point: cultural offerings of all kinds increase the quality of life of individuals, companies and regions. Global networks tend to reinforce the trend towards cultural leisure activities in the regions. Since many cultural offerings and institutions - especially those of the so-called high culture - are financed by the public sector in Germany, the problem arises that due to limited financial resources of the municipalities on the one hand and growing financial needs of these institutions on the other hand, there is a need for action. Creative problem solutions are required here. In addition, the trend areas of the cultural and creative industries are urgently looking for multidisciplinary and creatively trained talents, for which this course with its diverse mix of cultural and management modules offers itself like few others.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
