MA/MS in Kunstgeschichte

The Master's programme in Art History is a single-subject degree (Hauptfach) for graduates who want to deepen their knowledge of the discipline. It builds on the Bachelor's programme in Art History and is oriented towards research, concluding with a Master's thesis. Students set individual focal points within a broad art-historical curriculum that spans different periods, media and methods. Most of the work takes place in electives chosen from a seminar offering. These seminars are accompanied by lectures and advanced seminars. Optional components include practice-oriented exercises, language courses and modules from the joint humanities and social sciences profile area of the faculty. Teaching is delivered by the Institute of Art History at LMU Munich. Admission is handled through an aptitude procedure, and the subject advisers and the examinations office answer questions on study structure and examinations.
