The Fine Arts degree program offers students the opportunity to gain fundamental experience and skills in the diversity of contemporary art in order to pursue an individual artistic path.

In its modes of expression, the course is oriented towards all areas of life. The diversity of artistic positions and focuses is the starting point for teaching. The ten-semester course consists of a two-semester foundation course and subsequent studies in the specialist classes. After passing the final examination, a degree certificate is issued for a successful university degree in art, which corresponds to a Master's degree. After completing their studies, particularly talented students can be appointed as master students.
