Description – Postgraduate Studies
The studies in Arts and Media Management qualify persons already holding a university degree to practice in arts management positions. Between 20 and 25 students per year from home and online from abroad take up studies in Arts and Media Management at the University of Music and Theatre Hamburg (HfMT). The course takes 4 semesters and leads to the diploma of “Master of Arts”.
Content
Theoretical and practical studies as training-on-the-job; broken into 4 areas:
- Economics and law
- Politics and society
- Communication and organization
- Education and career
The courses are German-spoken and contain professional training as cultural managers, i.e. broadening and deepening different skills in Arts and Media Management – especially in administration, marketing, PR, controlling, fundraising, sponsoring, and in managing communication processes.
One internship during the course and two projects are obligatory.
Lecturers
All lecturers of the program work in leading management positions. They all work for the course in an honorary capacity. Therefore we aim establishing an intensive connection between theory and practice by realizing projects. In workshops and case studies, students are also able to sort out problems relevant to the practice.

4 semesters; beginning in October; lessons all day long on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
