SCENOGRAPHIC DESIGN AND COMMUNICATION
DEGREE PROGRAMME PROFILE
Scenographic design is Teaching and learning of the master‘s programme Scenographic Design and
communication design
Communication focus both on the design and the staging of real and virtual
spaces and environments and on design and concept development in all commu-
nicative process. Scenographic designers present and exhibit. They develop con-
cepts for performance spaces and design exhibition spaces. They bring spaces to
life to provide a narrative context. For a while they stage and dramatize perfor-
mances on the most diverse stages and create the ambience for the communica-
tive and emotional impact of stories and messages.
The project degree programme Scenographic Design and Communication focus-
ses its commitment on theatre and stage spaces, museum and exhibition spaces
media and hypermedia spaces, on public spaces of commercial and institutional
communication, on temporary spaces and design areas of brand staging and cor-
porate communication. The graduates of the master‘s programme know how to
combine subject-specific and interdisciplinary interests, theoretical knowledge
and artistic intuition, performative and moderating competence with manage-
ment and organisation skills. They are aware of their artistic and creative as well
as their social responsibility and thus ensure the effectiveness of planning and
implementation. The master‘s programme Scenographic Design and Communica-
tion has an international focus. Practical project work during studies is designed
to promote international exchange and to contribute to the establishment of a
worldwide network for scenographic design.

Bilingual degree programme
Applicants opt for a prevailing programme language as early as when they enrol
in German and English
and have to provide proof of the required language skills according to their fa-
voured programme language. Changing between programme languages is possi-
ble on request and if the corresponding requirements are met. To ensure that for-
eign students who did not obtain their university entrance qualification or their
graduate degree at a German-speaking institution acquire a sufficient command
of German in the course of their studies with English as the prevailing pro-
gramme language, they will have to provide proof of these skills by the time they
register for the master‘s thesis.

Content and structure The master‘s programme Scenographic Design and Communication takes three
semesters. At least 90 credit points according to the European Credit Transfer
Even if a prevailing pro- System (ECTS) must be obtained. The degree programme is offered in two prevail-
gramme language is cho- ing programme languages, German and English. Even if a prevailing programme
sen, both languages may be
used in courses language is chosen, both languages may be used in courses. The contents of the
respective courses are identical, regardless of the prevailing programme lan-
guage. Examinations are offered both in German and in English for both prevail-
ing programme languages. In consultation with the examiner, the candidate will
decide for each examination in which language it will be taken.
The master‘s programme Scenographic Design and Communication is offered as
a project-based programme, in particular in its design components. The required
technical and academic contents of the programme in lectures, seminars, and
courses (tutorials) will be allocated to projects. The project-based organisation of
the programme is designed to introduce students to the professional activities of
scenographic designers through concrete, practice- oriented tasks and practical
involvement in real-time projects. Students also learn to apply skills and abilities
obtained in their studies under the conditions of a concrete task and to test and
reflect them in a real professional environment while still studying.
The entire programme is organised in modules. Modules are subdivided into sev-
eral courses coordinated with regard to contents and times and defining the con-
text of the module and the skills to be acquired. The course offerings per module
comprise a total of six to a maximum of ten weekly hours per semester and usu-
ally span one semester, in exceptional cases two semesters. The modules of the
master‘s programme Scenographic Design and Communication teach the re-
quired skills of future scenographic designers as part of a continuous project-
based programme.
During the programme students learn about:
▪ research and survey techniques and methods
▪ experimental investigation and design of scenographic fields of work
▪ scenographic concept development for the design of rooms, environment
and public spaces and for staging – with dramaturgy and narrative structures
▪ presentation and moderation techniques/skills – with a view to the master
plan
▪ project implementation of a scenographic design project, including manage-
ment, organisation, communication, marketing
3▪ the academic module, related to theatre, literature and text, art, architecture
and environments, forms of expression and media, public spaces, culture,
economy and society in theory and practice, history and present
▪ project communication – in all relevant media, design and contents
▪ master‘s project with thesis and presentation and colloquy
The final module related to the master’s thesis comprises a range of courses
mainly dedicated to the first part of the master’s degree examination, i.e. dealing
with the master’s project and the associated thesis. These courses address as-
pects of production, directing, design, organisation, moderating. The module in-
cludes the discussion of concept-related, dramaturgic, production-oriented and
technical questions arising from the students’ master’s projects and focusses on
different issues as required: theoretical and conceptual questions, structural
narrative or dramaturgic problems, issues relating to the aesthetics and the de-
sign of spaces, individual methods, technologies and techniques.
