The University of Fine Arts Essen (HBK Essen for short, University of Fine Arts Essen in English ) is a state-recognized art university in Essen that is privately owned.
The university campus is located in the Kupferdreh district of Essen on the site of the former Prinz Friedrich colliery , the historical building stock of which has been modernized and converted for the purpose of an art university .
history
HBK Essen was founded in 2013. The three accredited BFA courses were taken over by the Free Academy of Fine Arts Essen (fadbk), which continues to exist in parallel. In the 2013/14 winter semester, 26 students from seven nations began studying at the HBK Essen. Milo Köpp (sculpture), Carsten Gliese (photography / media art) and Stephan Paul Schneider (painting / graphics) were appointed as the first professors.
With the decision of the Ministry for Innovation, Science and Research of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (MIWF NRW) of November 8, 2013, the HBK Essen is a state-recognized art college.
courses
The university is divided into two areas:
- the Faculty of Art and
- the Institute for Art History.
The Faculty of Art is assigned the three subject areas and courses of study:
- sculpture
- Photography / media art
- Painting / graphics
The Bachelor of Fine Arts is awarded .
All three Bachelor programs have a standard study period of seven semesters and a workload that corresponds to 210 ECTS credit points. In the extra-occupational part-time course, all three courses can be completed with the same scope of work with a standard study period of eleven semesters.
The students register for a course. However, you have the option of changing your degree program after the orientation phase. Only then do the students have to commit to a course of study.
The courses of study are designed and aligned with the aim of practice-oriented training in the field of fine arts. At the same time, they promote interdisciplinary approaches to thinking and working, which are substantiated by a broad-based art-scientific accompanying course.
Sponsorship
HBK Essen is privately owned in the form of a GmbH .
