Master
In the master's program in theater studies or dance studies, you will deepen the fundamental knowledge of European theater and dance history acquired in the bachelor's program and learn to critically discuss methodological approaches. The program offers insights into potential career fields along the three focal points of science, practice, and criticism and promotes an application-oriented approach to theater and dance theories and discourses. In the Science module, you will deepen your knowledge of scientific methods and procedures. In doing so, you will not only acquire skills for your own scientific work within the framework of the Master's program, but also strategies for future professional practice in academia and administration. In the Practices module, you will deepen your basic dramaturgical knowledge in seminars and exercises and apply it in practice during an internship at a cultural institution and in your own project work. In the process, you will learn to analyze and document artistic processes and works and to reflect on them critically. In the Criticism module, you will expand your knowledge of theater, dance, and cultural studies theories and analytical methods and transfer this knowledge to possible fields of work such as journalism or publishing.
