    Art History

    About

    The Master's programme in Art History at the Heinrich-Heine-University builds on a previous successful Bachelor's programme in Art History. The programme is aimed at students who wish to study the history, systematics and theory of art and other visual cultures in a scientific and job orientated way.
    The four-semester study programme with the degree "Master of Arts" (M.A.) is free of admission, but with "proof of special aptitude" (application and proof of aptitude take place directly at Heinrich Heine University). the programme can be started in the summer and winter semesters.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    The prerequisite for admission to the Master's programme is the completion of a relevant Bachelor's programme at a German university with a grade of 2.3 or better. Degrees obtained at foreign universities can be recognised after all documents have been submitted. Admission to the Master's programme is also possible as a lateral entry ("Quereinstieg"), i.e. after completion of a Bachelor's programme with a lower proportion of art history than in a regular Bachelor's programme in Art History. For this purpose, the aptitude of the student will be checked by the academic advisor and, if necessary, additional academic performances will be asked. Admission to the Master's programme is possible both in the summer and in the winter semester.
