Performing Arts as subject in the Interdisciplinary Bachelor’s Degree Programme
(Bachelor of Arts)

Students start by gaining skills in the foundations of stage practice and artistic/scholarly work. In combination and interaction with theatre practice, students are introduced to forms of contemporary theatre, theatre theory and history, and theatre education.
Depending on their chosen specialisation, students take compulsory elective modules from the school-based or non-school-based area (theatre education or performing arts) in the third and fourth semesters. Compulsory elective module 7.2 must be taken by all students wishing to pursue the Master’s Teacher Training Course for Grammar Schools. Students also pursue “self-study”, which enables them to specialise by expanding on educational, scientific or artistic topics and issues.
In the fifth semester, emphasis is placed on independent artistic practice.
Students who take Performing Arts as their first subject prepare a Bachelor’s thesis in the sixth semester.

As part of the interdisciplinary bachelor's degree programme, students with a focus on teaching have to complete a non-school-based internship as well as a school internship, both lasting four weeks. The non-school-based internship helps students to get first work insights in the area of teaching, to check on their career aspiration. For students with an non-school-based focus, an eight-week non-school-based internship must be completed.
