MA Theater
The Master’s degree programme, with its Scenic Arts Practice specialisation, is internationally unique. It is orientated towards the performing arts and gives students the opportunity to realise their own artistic projects in an international market.
The course is designed to correspond to the students’ individual special interests. Acknowledged theatrical personalities work with students on all the artistic and organisational aspects of their productions. High standards in terms of artistic presentation are combined with self-reliance, flexibility and transdisciplinary competencies. At the same time, the degree course also includes set design, lighting, sound, media and management, beyond the production itself. The course of study is not only geared towards actors and actresses but also explicitly to artists from other disciplines such as dancers and performers.

Perspectives
Actors can no longer count on getting a job in a theater: the number of fixed contracts in small and medium-sized theatres is decreasing. There is growing interest in artistic forms of work in free theatre groups, as the boundaries between acting and related forms of drama become more permeable. Directors, actors and dramaturges now often put their own text material together. Performance art and transdisciplinary presentations are gaining ground. Graduates rely on their independence, initiative and authorship – beyond theatrical cultures and language borders.
Degree
Graduates from this course of study earn the title Master of Arts in Theater with a specialisation in Scenic Arts Practice.
The degree enables graduates to develop and realise artistic ideas that go beyond the usual realm of theatre. Graduates are capable of initiating, planning, directing, realising and staging their own productions with regard to the interest of the audience.
