About the Program
Creativity, design and experimentation – open to current trends, but also with a view to the future: that is the philosophy of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar's Master's degree programme in Medienkunst/Mediengestaltung (Media Art and Design). The curriculum covers organisation and technology, as well as developing creative, analytical and critical skills. The combination of these disparate elements forms the main focus of the programme, as it is the basic prerequisite for creative professional work in the media – either freelance or for a company. The primary goal of the programme is to develop designers of strong character who will be able to enrich, and indeed determine, the everyday media environment of the future with their practical knowledge and artistic creativity. The search for a personal signature and form of expression is one of the essential aims of the Master's degree programme in Media Art and Design. You will build on and expand the basic knowledge you have acquired from your previous university education or professional experience, bringing your creative potential to full fruition. Once you have decided on your specialist subject in art and design from the individual core subjects of the various professorships, you will have the opportunity to work on it more intensively on a project-oriented and interdisciplinary basis.
