General Flow of the Education at BURG
The Fine Arts Degree (Diploma) is awarded upon the completion of a five-year program. The study is divided into three parts: Foundation, Main Study Program, and Diploma. Students attend the Foundation Program in the first two years, where they learn basics of drawing/sculpting skills, multi-media technology, and liberal arts. The Main Study Program in the third and fourth years is devoted to subject-specific studio practice. Students can also take up to two semesters in a different subject as guest students. The fifth year, Diploma, is dedicated to studio practice and theoretical contextualisation. Throughout their education, students have access to workshops in all subject areas.

Educational Programs in Jewellery
Up to twenty students study in the Jewellery Program. The program offers subject-specific study, SCHMUCK HALLE and basic jewellery-making technical courses. SCHMUCK HALLE provides projects that deal with one topic over one year. Students are guided through studio-based as well as theoretical seminars, lectures, workshops, excursions, and individual/group tutorials. Students also experiment with presentations of their artistic results in various exhibition formats.
Basic jewellery-making technical courses are given weekly. However, students are expected to have basic jewellery-making skills at the time of enrollment.
Since fostering co-learning in a vibrant community is essential, the program gathers for a monthly SCHMUCK HALLE ROUNDTABLE. The discussion roundtable is student-led and concludes with a collective cookout and dinner.
Exchange projects with other national and international universities, seminars and workshops with guest artists as well as exhibitions in Germany and abroad give students an opportunity to gain experience, make contacts, and prepare for the demands of the artistic profession.
