Arts and Cultural Production and Cultural Organisations: Certificate course
Further education Arts and Cultural Management at Master level
To survive in the competition with other institutions, cultural institutions must develop continuously. Here, they are subject to various influential factors, such as society, the market and politics, legal conditions as well as financial matters. To deal with these factors and in order to develop and manage change processes, comprehensive expertise is required. You can acquire this expertise in the English-language certificate course. The remote-learning course comprises a total of three modules in one or two semesters (dependent on the module selection). The certificate is embedded in the Masters programme in Arts and Cultural Management, which is offered in partnership with the Goethe-Institut.

Continuing Education Arts & Cultural Production and Cultural Organisations: Course of study
Distance-learning while working
An integral part of the programme are case studies and projects in which you develop solutions to real scenarios in global practice. This way you also get the opportunity to raise and explore problems from your everyday work. Students are therefore not just learners but also share their knowledge of practice with others on the course.
Discussions, group work and interdisciplinary projects further promote the exchange of knowledge. Teaching staff with experience in international roles and experienced culture managers for example from the Goethe-Institut will provide valuable practical insights.
