The part-time postgraduate course, devised by the 
Ruhr University Bochum, is aimed specifically at 
the requirements of exhibiting modern and

in cooperation with many museums and exhibition 
spaces in Northrhine-Westphalia. In-depth 
tutorials, work discussions and workshops with 
internationally renowned curators, artists, 
journalists, writers and other experienced

and media, lead to a thorough, practice-oriented

for their professional activities, both practical 
and theoretical. They study the history, theory 
and practice of curating and the categories and 
criteria of art journalism.

specialist knowledge about modern and 
contemporary art
