Description
The Master's degree programme in Building History and Art History deepens and specializes the academic and practice-oriented qualification in the field of building history and art history. Along the three module areas “City and Architecture”, “Art and Communication” and “Construction and Conservation”, it focuses on central subject areas of the discipline. In an interdisciplinary constellation of different subject areas that is unique in Germany, students can acquire specialist knowledge on the historical development of architecture and art, technological and heritage conservation aspects of construction and in the field of cultural management.
Students have the opportunity to deepen the knowledge they have acquired in these fields during their Bachelor's degree, expand and consolidate their methodological expertise and set their own priorities. In this way, the course enables students to independently develop a critically reflected and well-founded methodological approach to architectural, artistic, constructional, urban planning and monument preservation phenomena that is appropriate to their own research interests.
Successful completion of the course qualifies students for a wide range of professions, depending on their individual profile in the Master's programme.
