If the studies are to be completed within the standard period of study, 30 CP per semester or 60 CP per year must be provided. With 30 working hours per CP, the workload is about 40 hours per week.

Qualification and fields of activity

•     primary schools

Work areas are u.a. in the cultural field (exhibitions, museums, art collections, art and cultural mediation), in the administration and maintenance of monuments, in the art trade, as well as in film and media institutions, film collections and archives, film festivals, as well as in journalism (publishers, journals, Radio / TV, Internet), in private companies (Art Consulting), in tourism and in research and teaching.

In many cases, however, additional qualifications are required which the study alone can not provide. In addition to the knowledge required, the areas of particular interest include IT, public relations, additional foreign languages, economics and law, and education. Those who feel appropriate inclinations, should focus here with the choice of minor subjects, with internships and training. Additional knowledge is often further developed after graduation. For some career goals, such as restoration, art trade, journalism, etc., additional training may be required. Many of those in employment also continue to work extra-occupationally. In particular, freelance art scholars often work in several fields. Corresponding specializations lay the foundation for the final career choice.
