Course Structure

Students must complete 6 credits in technical courses and 6 credits in art history/art theory/philosophy during the first 6 semesters. Minimum 2 credits should be completed in art theory. After successfully completing a course, students receive confirmation of attendance from the professor or instructor, which must be handed in the registrar's office. An intermediate exam is required between the second and fourth semester, which is used to decide about a student’s further studies at the Städelschule. A class change is possible after passed intermediate examination and agreement with the respective professors. The extension of the study period of a maximum of two semesters is possible on request. Upon successful completion of the studies, a certificate of full study with the title of "Meisterschüler" can be requested.
