How do university programmes differ from other university courses?
The university programmes of the IKM are designed as part-time, 4-semester long training with a masters degree and target interested parties, who already completed higher education or are similarly qualified and who already work ideally in the cultural field. The academic degree is a Master of Advanced Studies.
Unlike the offered courses at the IKM within the framework of ordinary teaching, that mdw-students of other Austrian universities can attend for free, the attendance of the university programmes is fee-based. The university programmes attendees are irregular students.
Furthermore, admission to the university programmes is linked to the existence of an admission exam, whereas for the attendance of the other courses at the IKM only a registration to the lecture is needed.
The group size of the university programmes is limited to 22-24 people.
The cultural Management programme, founded in 1976, target those who already work in the cultural field or already worked in this field and who want to expand their knowledge of Cultural Institutions, who want to discover additional tools and who want to build a multidisciplinary network and furthermore who search a space for exchange and reflection. The equal togetherness of art and science is a special cause for us- that is why the lectures offer topics of the following fields: Cultural Management-Management-Art, Culture and Public-Legal Matters in Cultural Management-Soft Skills.
The university programme for Applied Dramaturgy in Music and Performing Arts, founded 2018, teaches the basics of dramaturgical work. Main topics are Music-and Theater Dramaturgy, Cultural Studies, Cultural Policy, Philosophy and Aesthetics. The university programme focuses on dealing with language and communication, structuring Dramaturgy projects and their documentation as well as cooperations with international cultural institutions.
Is the supervision of PHD-theses possible at the IKM?
At the IKM students can write PHD-theses in the special fields Cultural Institutions Studies as well as Gender Studies (PhD Studium).
