MA/MS in Freie Kunst

This programme understands art as an extension of reality and relies on initiative, independent work and openness to experimental ways of thinking. Studio work is at the centre, supported by professionally equipped workshops where students develop their own questions, try out materials and produce works in different media and formats. Studio discussions and close supervision accompany the process. Exhibitions, installations, performances and concerts, inside and outside the university, are an integral part. Workshops and lectures by international artists and theorists, and exchange with architecture, design, media art and the sciences, broaden the studies. Admission is by artistic aptitude examination, and teaching is in German. The programme belongs to the Faculty of Art and Design at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and has a standard period of study of 9 semesters.
