The course of study

If you are interested in connections between cultural education and educational theory, then you are in the right place in our master's program!
Here you will deal with topics such as education in pop culture, popular music, gamification or art in public space and reflect on mediation opportunities in (non-)school institutions.
You will focus on the importance of cultural practices in educational biographies of children, adolescents and adults. This includes not only the artistic reception and production, but also different forms of everyday design.
The degree program is interdisciplinary and allows you to gain valuable insights into subjects such as art, music, architecture and literature or media studies.

Study organisation

Examination regulations/course plans/module manuals

Subject examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic structures of a course of study (e.g. entry requirements and content to be studied). For students, the current version of an FPO automatically applies when enrolling in the first semester. This means that even in the event of changes to the FPO during the course of your studies, the version according to which you have registered is valid (provided that this FPO does not expire). The respective course plan represents the recommended exemplary course of study in the individual subjects and is part of an FPO.
Additional regulations and details for each module to be studied can be found in the module manuals (e.g. prerequisites for taking a written examination or information on the content of the modules/events, ...).

Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you at least look at the course schedule of your course of study so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies:
