The Bachelor's degree programme in "Fine Arts, Music and Media: Organisation and Mediation" contributes to the integration of art, media and music studies. The goal is the teaching of historical and theoretical basic knowledge and analysis methods of the subjects involved as well as the imparting of knowledge about transfer processes and forms of presentation of the arts in the media. Students are to be trained in the ability to recognise and assess models of the mediatisation of the arts in their historical dimension. This requires key qualifications such as written and oral literacy, foreign language skills and organisational skills, research-oriented learning with knowledge-based skills, which are mainly used in project seminars and in the final thesis. In cooperation with university-owned graphic and photo documentation facilities, experience in technical reproduction media and audiovisual design and presentation skills is acquired. The successful completion of the programme opens up the possibility of continuing studies.

On the one hand, the establishment of the degree programme responds to the increasing distribution of art, music and media in the audiovisual cultural realm, and on the other hand to the fact that the arts have gained new meaning and dynamism as media phenomena. The main focus of the degree programme is on transformation processes that already started with book illustration (handwriting/printing). They experienced an increase due to the photographic reproduction of artworks and are currently reaching a preliminary peak in the transfer of images to mobile data carriers. The musical repertoire, often transferred and varied through record, radio, film, television and digital media, has long since become material that is always available. The arts can no longer be replaced by their mediation and transfer processes. In return, this ceaseless medial adaptation accentuates the mediality and materiality of visual and sound arts. This includes, for example, their formal and material foundations, the publicity of music and the comprehensive accessibility of all art forms.

An integral part of the degree course is the MarSkills programme, in which you acquire attractive and future-oriented key skills (see www.uni-marburg.de/marskills).
