Overview
The introductory year of this Cross-Disciplinary Strategies programme at the University of Applied Arts Vienna covers principles of programming, statistics, academic work in the form of research and text production, as well as the principles of human rights, the structure of international organisations, artistic practices and current discourses in social sciences and humanities.
In subsequent years of the programme, the curriculum is structured into the study areas science and technology, economics and politics, and artistic strategies and approaches to art with annual topics that deal with global challenges such as migration, medialisation, work, growth, environment, and nutrition.
In this phase, students apply knowledge from their content lectures in cross-disciplinary projects in team work. The programme aims to enable students to identify and uncover complex correlations, and to integrate them into cooperative processes of action.
Learning outcomes
Graduates employ artistic skills, strategies and principles of artistic praxis and experience, plus broad knowledge regarding the basic principles of research from the areas of natural sciences, humanities and social sciences to identify, develop and bring about systematic and innovative approaches for the achievement of sustainable transformation and design processes.
