The application process for our next program 
(September 2019 to June 2021) is closing. If you 
wish to apply, please do it as soon as possible.

University of Zurich's Art Market Studies trains 
graduates who are currently active or pursuing a 
career related to the art market. We offer an 
independent and rigorous program designed by 
leading professionals and academics to meet 
today's challenges.

The outstanding teaching staff includes more than 
60 international art market specialists and 
scholars who share their knowledge, experience 
and network with our students.

The program promotes entrepreneurial thinking and 
fosters an ethical approach to the art market. 
Participants benefit from Switzerland's unique 
network of cultural and research institutions, 
auction houses and galleries.

The interdisciplinary and integrative program 
covers three major areas: History of Art and 
Connoisseurship, Art Law and Ethics, Art 
Transactions and Valuation.

These subjects are conveyed in lectures, art 
appraisal workshops, and case studies. In 
addition, field trips to art fairs, galleries, 
and biennials (Basel, Berlin, London, Hong Kong, 
Shanghai) are organized.

Participants will develop their knowledge of the 
history, materials, and production processes of 
fine and applied arts from the Renaissance to the 
present day; evaluate artworks and use the latest 
art market analytical tools; use case studies to 
improve legal knowledge and foster ethical 
thinking; learn to synthesize and analyze 
processes that are critical to small and 
mid°©sized businesses, and to develop innovative 
solutions for the commercial art world; develop 
their leadership and management skills.

Academic credits in compliance with the European 
Credit Transfer System (ECTS) will be awarded for 
passing examinations, written works, and the 
Master thesis.

Courses are held on Fridays and Saturdays in 
Zurich and are taught entirely in English.
