Arts and Cultural Consumption and Audiences: Certificate course

Further education Arts and Cultural Management at Master level

For cultural institutions, it is essential to cater to the expectations, topic interests and needs of their visitors. Corresponding knowledge about visitor groups, their analysis as well as suitable approaches to strategy formation is therefore indispensable. In the English-language certificate course, cultural professionals can qualify comprehensively for these matters. In the remote-learning course, the students deal with forms and developments of the consumption of cultural goods, analysis and strategy formation for various visitor groups as well as holistic concepts for communication and branding. The certificate is embedded in the Masters programme in Arts and Cultural Management, which is offered in partnership with the Goethe-Institut.

This way you also get the opportunity to raise and explore issues from your everyday work. Students are therefore not just students but also share their knowledge of practice with others on the course.
