The aim is to develop your artistic position, which will help you represent Fine Arts convincingly in educational contexts. In addition, you can expect a varied and intensive scientific-pedagogical examination in art didactics, art education, art history, art science and aesthetics.
In addition to subject-specific content, you will also deal with inclusive pedagogical and critical approaches to discrimination. At the Berlin University of the Arts, you will be part of a lively and innovative discourse on art that addresses current challenges facing society as a whole. Focusing on your future work in schools is essential from the beginning. At our cooperating universities (FU, HU or TU Berlin), ISS/Gym students can choose from a wide range of second subjects.
The primary school teaching programme students all study German and Mathematics at the Freie Universität Berlin (FU) in addition to the subject of the Fine Arts at the Berlin University of the Arts..
What do students and professors say?
Throughout their studies, we support students in their artistic development. We expose them to a wide range of possibilities and encourage them in finding their own position. By doing so students gain an in-depth understanding of art and its many forms of expression, which they can then pass on pupils.
