How can museums
change society? What consequences can curatorial actions have? The /ecm study programme in exhibition theory and practice
at the University of Applied Arts Vienna is a postgraduate, fee-based course that provides comprehensive knowledge and skills
in the expanded field of museums and exhibitions.
In collaborative processes, students experiment
with different methods of curatorial research, theory and practice. Thus, discourses, ruptures, and horizons emerge that challenge
the canon, occupy exhibition spaces and the public sphere, and seek not only to digitise museums and collections but above
all to democratise them. The university course /ecm – educating, curating, making deals with some of these questions. Applications
for the next course starting in October 2026 are now being accepted.
The programme is aimed at a diverse group
of students with a wide range of educational and professional backgrounds and offers two different paths: a/ associate Master’s
degree program with a Master’s thesis; b) a university course with a practice-based research project. Both paths are conducted
simultaneously as a joint programme.
