Photography

Our MA programme will deepen your knowledge of the diverse applications of photography. You will get a better understanding of contemporary art practices and requirements, and will optimise both the artistic and professional potential. Our curriculum encourages you to explore the significance of the photographic medium within a cultural, political and social context, and to develop an individual vision while interacting with current trends in art and design. You will also learn to write and speak about your work with an advanced level of fluency and to frame your practice in historical and critical contexts. By the time you graduate with the Master’s in Photography, you will have acquired the skills to think conceptually and to realise your ideas in artistic and practical projects using state-of-the-art technology.

Our educational approach aims to give students the opportunity to discover and fully develop their individual talents. Classes take place in small groups in a friendly, informal atmosphere. You have the opportunity to actively shape your studies and your professional career by setting your own priorities and choosing from an interdisciplinary range of subjects. Our professors support you in your individual development and help you to develop your own handwriting and to refine your talents and strengths. The master’s degree includes practical projects under the direction of renowned photographers and artists as well as international study trips and workshops in New York, Iceland or various cities in Asia that prepare you for your professional future.

Our modern, centrally located Berlin campus is a meeting point for students from over 60 countries. Famous for its lively art scene, Berlin has also developed into one of the most important start-up cities in Europe in recent years.
