Artistic school subjects are not guided solely by questions of utility and the measurability of benefits. The positive energy that children and young people radiate when they develop their own ideas and find an artistic means of expression for them opens up other facets of the human experience.

In the degree programmes in Art and Music, the focus is therefore on practical experience. This gives rise to new perspectives on teaching and learning situations, as well as individual pedagogical self-concepts. At the same time, the programme prepares students to pass on their own passion for art and music to young people.

Digital media shape our everyday lives and open up a wide range of possibilities for creative expression. It is crucial to support children and young people in not merely consuming media, but in using it actively, critically and creatively.

In the field of media education, the focus is on the reflective use of digital media. Students explore practical forms of media production, develop educational concepts and refine their own understanding of media education. The programme prepares students to empower people of all ages to engage with digital media in a responsible and creative manner.

The Master’s programme in E-Learning and Media Education, based at the Institute, trains experts in digital educational transformation – with a particular focus on adult education. Graduates design and research media-supported training and further education programmes, as well as projects in educational institutions, agencies and companies.
