Education System
-
Universities of Art/Music:
These institutions offer
studies for artistic careers in fine arts, performing arts and music; in
such fields as directing, production, writing in theatre, film, and
other media; and in a variety of design areas, architecture, media and
communication.
The institutions of higher education are to be made more efficient by
according them further autonomy, allowing them to build an individual
profile in a particular area and encouraging more competition. Further
reforms concerning the staff structure and recruitment requirements for
professors were introduced through the Act's amendment in 2002. An
alternative to institutions of higher education is provided by
Berufsakademien. These professional academies have taken the principle
of the dual system of vocational education and training and applied it
to the tertiary sector.
