The Institute of Cultural Management is part of the Ludwigsburg University of Education. Founded in 1990 as a study program, then becoming an institute in 1994, it offers many opportunities for exchange with fellow students. The mission of the institute is to provide economic tools for decision-making processes in the field of cultural management, train new cultural and social scientists, and impart transferable interdisciplinary skills.

Today, the institute offers two study programs: a Master’s degree program for Cultural Science and Management (full time studies), and an advanced training course for cultural workers and practitioners that ends with a dual certificate (part time studies). Both have adopted an interdisciplinary approach.

The Master’s degree program is a collaboration between the economics department and the humanities, transcending academic boundaries to maintain a productive exchange with international partners. The students benefit from one of the oldest, most renowned cultural management courses in Germany which combines academic studies with extensive practical components in one of the richest cultural areas in the country. The Master’s program runs four semesters, ends with a Master of Arts degree, and is intended for students who wish to work in all three areas of the cultural sector—public, non-profit, and commercial.

In addition to study tours and visits to museums and galleries, the program also includes practical experience in the field of art and in research writing. The program provides the graduates with tools that allow them to integrate into diverse environments within the field of the contemporary arts, including schools, colleges, galleries and museums, cultural institutions, informal educational frameworks, and social and community organizations. The program is intended for educators and creators from the field of the arts: the visual arts, dance, cinema, architecture, theater, and design. We offer three tracks:
