Master's degree in art history
The Master's programme (4 semesters) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology is entirely dedicated to art history. There is no longer a supplementary area as in the Bachelor's degree, but there is the possibility to attend courses from neighbouring disciplines or to take an interdisciplinary Master's module in the humanities and social sciences. The modular structures are flexible and allow and encourage independent study. The freedom to form one's own focal points, which grew continuously in the Bachelor's programme, is greatest in the Master's programme and ultimately leads to the choice of topic for the Master's thesis.
Degree and duration of study
After four semesters of standard study time, students graduate with the title Magister/Magistra Artium (Master of Arts). This is a consecutive Master's postgraduate degree with a scientific orientation, which requires a bachelor's degree in the same or a related subject.
Study structure
The Master's programme is studied in one major subject only and is intended to enable students to work independently on scientific questions. 120 ECTS credits are to be acquired. The choice of courses is only prescribed to a limited extent. To a certain extent, suitable courses outside of art history can also be chosen. The writing of a major written work, the Master's thesis, is a component of the final examination. Up to 50 ECTS credits are awarded for writing the Master's thesis and for preparing for the oral examination.
Admission requirements
Admission restrictions / selection procedure
The course of studies is admission-restricted. The number of places to be allocated is determined each semester. The selection criterion is the grade of the bachelor's degree examination or the final grade achieved in a comparable course of study. There is no additional test.
Bewerbung
Zulassungsvoraussetzung ist normalerweise, dass jemand das Fach, für welches er/sie im Masterstudiengang zugelassen werden will, zuvor schon mindestens mit einem Bachelor-Abschluss absolviert hat.
Das heißt: Wer zum Master im Fach A zugelassen werden will, muss das Fach A zuvor auch schon im Hauptfach studiert haben.
Die Zulassungsbestimmungen sind für einen Teil der Fächer übereinstimmend, andere
Fächer haben jeweils eigene Bestimmungen.
Auswahl der Bewerber:
Es wird einerseits das bisherige Studium und dessen Abschlusszeugnis bewertet (maximal 64 Punkte), andererseits können auch „sonstige Leistungen“ mit bis zu 15 Punkten berücksichtigt werden. Bei diesen „sonstigen Leistungen“ führt die Auswahlsatzung an:
a) abgeschlossene Berufsausbildung in einem einschlägigen Ausbildungsberuf und bisherige, für den Studiengang einschlägige Berufsausübung (auch ohne abgeschlossene Ausbildung) sowie praktische Tätigkeiten,
b) besondere Vorbildungen und
c) außerschulische Leistungen und Qualifikationen, z.B. Preise und Auszeichnungen.“
Gibt es mehr Bewerber als Studienplätze, wird unter den Bewerbern nach dem Kriterium der Eignungspunkte ausgewählt.

Guide to scientific work
This guide is intended to be an aid for the study of art history at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and to give hints for scientific work. In principle, the advice in this handout is also valuable and valid for architecture students. However, there are also some deviating regulations for term papers and especially for the scientific part of the master's thesis in the course of studies in architecture, e.g. concerning the freedom in the layout of the paper. A version of the handout that is precisely adapted to the needs of architecture students is therefore in preparation. As long as it is not yet available, please use this version, but please discuss with your supervisor which of the regulations are not binding for you or which additional regulations apply in the respective case.

Short overview of important websites and portals
KIT and the Department of Architecture use information and administration systems that directly affect your study organization, be it in teaching, when documents are made available, when dates for the semester are published, or when you have to register for exams. The various portals and websites fulfil different functions. The most important ones for you are briefly presented here.
Überblick über wichtige Websites und Portale
Das KIT und die Fakultät für Architektur verwenden Informations- und Verwaltungssysteme, die Ihre Studienorganisation unmittelbar betreffen, sei es in der Lehre, wenn Dokumente zur Verfügung gestellt werden, wenn Termine zum Semesterablauf veröffentlicht werden oder wenn Sie sich zu Prüfungen anmelden müssen. Dabei erfüllen die verschiedenen Portale und Websites unterschiedliche Funktionen. Die für Sie wichtigsten werden hier kurz vorgestellt.
Website of the KIT Department of Architecture
The website of the KIT Department of Architecture functions as a pure information website. It provides an overview of the various institutions, persons, and committees of the department as well as of the courses offered. It also announces current events, dates, and publications. In the section "Organisation of studies" you can find important dates, timetables, forms etc.. There are also video tutorials on how to register for and deregister from exams to help you with this process.
The various professorships of the department also have websites. The links to these can be found under the menu item "Institutes". The websites are maintained by the professorships themselves and differ in scope and offer.
Campus Management Portal
https://campus.studium.kit.edu
The Campus Management Portal is a central platform of KIT, which manages courses, exam registration and deregistration, re-registration for the next study semester and all possible certificates. Compared to the department website, it is not only about information, but about your personal study organization. If you have difficulties with the Campus Management Portal, the Dean of Studies Office of the Department (Building 20.40, Room 139) can often help.
WiWi Portal
https://portal.wiwi.kit.edu/ys?id=6
The WiWi-Portal is used to allocate places for courses. It is only relevant in the weeks before the lecture period. Registration usually takes place via the KIT account, but if this is not yet available, registration with a private email address is also possible.
ILIAS
KIT uses the learning platform ILIAS. Here, teachers can set up courses for individual learning events and modules and then make learning materials available or set up submissions. ILIAS can also be used to send e-mails or set up calendars for courses. In most cases, the professorships set up a course and then inform the students concerned about the respective joining procedure. This can be done by the professors themselves or with a link and/or password. You should definitely join the corresponding ILIAS courses in order to receive the emails and materials for the courses and to be able to hand in required performances on time!
