Art History

Master of Arts (M.A.)

About the Program

The Master's programme in Art History at the Heinrich-Heine-University builds on a previous successful Bachelor's programme in Art History. The programme is aimed at students who wish to study the history, systematics and theory of art and other visual cultures in a scientific and job orientated way. The 4-semester study programme with the degree "Master of Arts" (M.A.) is free of admission, but with "proof of special aptitude". The programme serves to deepen, differentiate and individualise the knowledge acquired in the Bachelor programme. Seminars enable specific discussion of art historical questions, "Team projects" give the opportunity to develop practice-related concepts, and "Project seminars" help to acquire skills relevant to future professional fields. An "excursion programme" offers the opportunity to gain a profound understanding of the art landscape of historical sites in Germany and abroad. Lectures and a job-oriented internship complete the range of courses.
