Art History
Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) – 2 field degree program - Major Field
Art is much more than simply paintings hanging in a museum. Art also includes the history of these works, the uniqueness of the brushwork or the reproduction of styles that existed hundreds of years ago. Art is not just painting, but includes architecture, monuments, statues, photography and dance. Above all, art is incredibly varied.

The degree program focuses on works of architecture, painting, sculpture, applied arts, and new forms of art in Europe, North America, and societies influenced by these cultures. In addition, the program also includes the history of art and the history of the discipline of art history and its institutions (e.g., museums, preservation of historical monuments, research and educational institutions, exhibitions). The periods included in the program range from the Middle Ages to the present. Art history majors acquire a solid background in the fundamentals and specialized knowledge of the field as well as knowledge of its methods (e.g., identification, stylistic analysis, iconography, iconology), enabling them to cultivate a sensitivity for artistic forms of expression and an understanding of works and theories of art within the context of the historical conditions in which they were created. Students of the bachelor program learn to judge works of art independently on the basis of expert knowledge. Prerequisites for a successful course of study include excellent skills in the German language and good skills in English.

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
