Art and Media

The study programme Art and Media is the only course at the UdK Berlin offering networked artistic teaching in the time-based media. Teachers of various subjects collaborate to offer this special study programme, the focus being on interplay between artistic experiment and technical media. By contrast to specialist subject courses, the basic character of the study programme Art and Media is interdisciplinary. The order of studies, for example, prescribes at least one change of subject during the programme. The diversity offered is essential to the identity of the study programme.

Teaching takes place as project work in different subject classes. Artistic training in these classes is characterized by an open atmosphere, and the aim is to encourage the development of new perspectives in regard to artistic authorship and practice.

After their graduation students may have access to a number of professional fields ranging from fine art to diverse media professions. At least four semesters foundation course in a comparable field is required for admission to the programme.
