==>EXHIBITION DEVELOPMENT - This modularized and low-residency
certified program offered in English imparts the core skills of
contemporary exhibition practice. In addition to individual study and
project work at your home location, students gather for three intense
seminars with internationally active practitioners.

exhibitions are taught, supported by many case studies.
Best-practice-examples of leading experts in exhibition design and
management give thorough insights into contemporary trends and
introduce
students to new working fields with a special focus on immersive
exhibit

competencies for the professional assessment of chances and risks in
contemporary exhibition planning and shows how to apply these skills
in
concrete projects.
