Art and Design

Digital Media are changing the world – in almost all areas of life. But they themselves are also subject to constant, rapid development. Designing the development of digital media in innovative and responsible ways, researching the possibilities of their use, recognising social and cultural effects – these are the guidelines of the Digital Media degree program. The course is organised jointly by the University of the Arts and the University of Bremen. Both institutions combine computer science with art, theory with practice and creativity with solid knowledge and integrate scientific-theoretical, application-oriented and artistic-design components. This also includes learning a lot about professional practice and orienting yourself internationally during your studies. The focus is on the development of multimedia interactive systems using computer science and artistic design methods, the application of these systems to solve concrete problems, and the social context of these development and application processes. The programme prepares you for the Bachelor's (6 semesters) and Master's (another 4 semesters) degrees.

In the study programme Fine Arts, HfK students can qualify for an artistic career in well-equipped studios and workshops and close personal contact with renowned professors in relevant fields such as sculpture, painting, drawing, objects, concepts, photography and media. The artistic teaching is embedded in art-scientific and art-theoretical reflection.

Responsible designers with the skills to cope with current and future tasks are the educational goal of the study programme Integrated Design at the HfK Bremen. Here too, the HfK aims to impart comprehensive design skills to its students and to transcend the boundaries of individual disciplines. The focus of the programme are people and their needs for the designed environment. The programme is therefore not based on the classic division into individual professional fields (product design, fashion design, visual communication) but rather on exemplary questions that are relevant to design in general. The guiding principles of the course are not separation into creative sub-disciplines, but rather integration, interdisciplinarity and orientation on projects. The programme prepares you for the Bachelor's (7 semesters) and Master's (another 3 semesters) degrees.

The University of the Arts Bremen offers a post-graduate programme of study, an art- and science-based PhD programme. Further information can be found on the page of the Binational Artistic PhD Program.

In order to turn your own thoughts and ideas into matter, you need workshops. The professionally equipped and supervised workshops are available to all students and teachers.
