Bachelor German Arts & Design

Product Design

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

About the Program

This programme involves artistically applied studies that cover general creative foundations in the first two semesters. From the third semester, students specialise in one of three major subjects: Scenography, Costume or Experimental Design. The programme is divided into two study phases. In the first phase (the first year), a basic artistic education (painting, drawing, performance, film, graphic print, typography) takes centre stage. In the second study period (the second to the fourth years), students concentrate on their selected majors. The programme is based on a great degree of hands-on orientation with practical exercises complementing lectures and seminars. Project work, excursions and lectures by external teachers ensure a connection to current developments in the field. A one-semester internship phase or semester abroad is also an important component of the program.
