Annotation
The degree course combines literary, media and cultural studies with artistic practice and opens up a wide range of perspectives in education, research and the cultural and creative industries. Students acquire analytical, communicative and design skills in order to critically understand cultural processes and actively shape them in an international, interdisciplinary professional field.
The programme includes artistic study components as well as optional work placements lasting several weeks in the literary, art and cultural sector. Due to the institutional integration in Kassel (documenta Institute, documenta and Museum Fridericianum, Staatstheater Kassel, Literaturhaus Nordhessen, Caricatura, Kasseler DokFest, Randfilmfest, etc.) and the integration of both research and practical application, the degree course is unique in German-speaking countries.
Admission requirements
Proof of proficiency in two foreign languages (one of them English) at level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). (If a student’s proficiency in the second foreign language is level B1 at the time of admission, proof of level B2 may be submitted by the time of registration for the Master’s thesis.)
