Writing in art and culture is traditionally divided into the fields of artistic practice on the one hand and criticism and mass media on the other. This division of fields is shifting, at the very latest with digitalization. It is precisely because traditional (reading) skills are changing, and writers are increasingly being supported by machines that writing and sophisticated storytelling are becoming more important. This is all the more true when artistic, technical and analytical-intellectual skills are combined in individual authorship.
Writing in Art and Culture is a modular study program that enables participants to navigate individually within a broad selection of courses and thus put together a tailor-made continuing education program. The program can be studied as a CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies, 15 credits, 2 semesters) and as a DAS (Diploma of Advanced Studies, 30 credits, 2 to 4 semesters). The DAS can in turn be extended to an MAS (Master of Advanced Studies in Creative Practice, 60 ECTS) in the same subject area.
Registration for CAS students: All information is available here. The new regulations on postgraduate study towards an MAS are available here.
