Art History

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) – 2 field degree program - Minor Field


Art is much more than simply paintings hanging in a museum. Art also includes the history of these works, the uniqueness of the brushwork or the reproduction of styles that existed hundreds of years ago. Art is not just painting, but includes architecture, monuments, statues, photography and dance. Above all, art is incredibly varied.

The course of study focuses on skills and knowledge concerning the works and theory of visual art within the context of its historical conditions. One of the main goals of instruction is to impart methodological skills and a critically grounded sense of judgment, which may be seen as the most important qualities for practicing a profession related to art history. The minor field program provides students with a solid grounding in theoretical and practical aspects of the field, enabling them to enter into a profession in art history and extend their career opportunities.

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
