Arts Journalism Master

New degree course at the Institute for Arts Management and Media

Get involved!

Everyone is talking. In foyers, tweets and talk shows. About world views, opinions and positions. Everyone is talking – and cultural journalists are talking all the time. They inspire, moderate, criticise the debates of society.

What do we talk about when we talk about art and culture? What does canon mean, who does it exclude? Will AIs compose our pop songs in the future? Or become tricksters between fact and fake? What language, what images, what expression do we find to name what enlightens or disturbs us? How do series change cinematic narration? Are glitches in games already poetry?

If you want to work in arts journalism, you have to keep a cool head in the stream of data, languages and symbols. Attitude and curiosity, speed and humour, creativity and wild thinking are required to untangle the linguistic confusion of our present.
The new Master degree course in Arts Journalism at the University of Music and Theatre Munich in cooperation with the Theaterakademie August Everding responds comprehensively to the changes in the media. As the only cultural journalism degree course in the German-speaking world, it combines art analysis, journalistic craft and media innovation.

We are interested in applicants who are curious and knowledgeable about theatre, music, film, literature, dance, visual arts, photography and architecture. Who do not avoid the tension between tradition and technical progress. Who are eager to constantly expand their cultural horizons. Who have an interest in debating with the public. And who use the latest technologies to work knowledgeably, intelligently and argumentatively on all channels as self-confident cultural journalists for the appropriate visibility of cultural reporting in the media.

We offer two years of in-depth and practical training in all media formats. At the University of Music and Theatre Munich with its degree courses for artists, you will study in a cosmos of creative vitality and inspiration. The lecturers come from journalistic practice. Together with regional and national media companies as cooperation partners, as well as through a mentoring programme, we guarantee the development of networks and contacts for a successful start to your career.
