Master of Arts - Photography

The Master's degree programme in Photography offers a comprehensive education that focuses on various aspects of photography and its contextualisation. Students complete several modules that include both practical and theoretical components. Key topics include the development of individual photographic practices, methods of image analysis and an examination of the history of photography.

The modules are divided into different phases, starting with basic laboratory courses and integrated practical projects that focus on exploring the medium of photography. Advanced courses deal with specific topics such as photography as an object, printing techniques and interdisciplinary approaches. A particular focus is on the relationship between photography and space and the critical examination of contemporary photographic practices.

In addition to practical projects, theoretical foundations are taught, including media and photographic theory. Students have the opportunity to develop their own projects and present them as part of excursions and practical projects. The programme ends with a Master's colloquium and a Master's thesis, in which students present their research findings and creative work.
