About the programme

Art Education at Justus Liebig University Giessen is a Master of Arts of 4 semesters and 120 credit points, starting only in the winter semester. In a culture shaped by digital media, the image is a key carrier of communication, and art has gained social and economic weight since the 1980s, so art education now has challenges and fields of work beyond school. The programme rests on a broad idea of artistic education that brings together the theory and practice of art and education and examines how they connect, and you can focus on topics within its specialisation areas. Requirements include a relevant Bachelor's, such as art education, a multi-subject Bachelor's with art education as a major, or a teaching degree for grammar schools with art as a major subject.
