Prerequisites

The Design Studies master’s course at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle is aimed explicitly at graduates of bachelor’s or ‘Diplom’ courses with an artistic/design emphasis and at academics whose focal area lies in history, philosophy, theory and psychology – in short: the culture of artefacts in general. All applicants have to take a course-specific entrance test; interested graduates of other disciplines who have relevant qualifications may also be admitted to a master’s course after taking this test. Most courses also require proof of relevant practical placements or comparable practical experience along with this test.
