In the winter semester 2016/17, the University of Tübingen started a new focus area for studies, supported by Baden-Württemberg’s Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts: With the profile line “Museums & Collections” as part of existing Master Studies programs, several subjects in the Faculty of the Humanities and the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences are cooperating with the University of Tübingen Museum (MUT). They offer their students a focus on museum theory, collection science and practical museum work.
The current courses offered for this master profile can be found here.
Participating subjects and admission requirements
Starting in the winter semester 2016/2017 the subjects Art History, Musicology, Historical and Cultural Anthropology, Classical Archaeology, Ancient Near Eastern studies and Prehistoric and Medieval Archaeology are part of the Master profile. The admission requirements are the same as for each of the involved Master studies. As it is a profile and not a separate course of studies there are no additional admission regulations for "Museum & Collections".
Objectives
The Tübingen profile line distinguishes itself through the combination of already existing museological and collection oriented specialized courses and their connection with the possibilities and competencies of the MUT regarding museology and collections. The practical aspects of this profile and its realization relies on the singular stock of 65 scientific University collections, unique in Germany. The studies aim at providing each specialized course of study with a profile in theoretical and practical museology without excluding scientifical studies. The special focus area can be documented in the Master certificate.
Structure of the Master profile
The students can select the profile "Museum & Collections" at the beginning of their respective subject studies, at the latest when starting their second Master semester. The modules cover 30 of the 120 performance points in the master studies. For the profile line the following sequential modules are mandatory (in German language):
- MuSa-01: „Museumsgeschichte und -theorie“ (two semester with lecture and seminar)
- MuSa-02: „Studienprojekt Museum & Sammlungen“ (two semester practical project)
- MuSa-03: „Ausstellung und Sammlungen im disziplinären Kontext“ (one semester collection relevant and specialized lecture)
