Programme group (Kunstakademie Art teaching degrees). Admission to the artistic subject Art requires passing the artistic aptitude examination (Feststellungspruefung) of the Kunstakademie Muenster, held once a year in spring with an online application from 1 to 15 March (exclusion deadline). Applicants must have completed, or be completing, a Bachelor; those coming from another university must submit a portfolio at the level expected after a six-semester art university course, obtain approval from the head of an artistic class, and hold a relevant teaching-oriented Bachelor under the LABG 2009 and LZV 2009 rules or an equivalent degree (the Kunstakademie examination board decides). Uploads: Bachelor certificate and diploma, transcript of records (or a current performance overview and module overview if the certificate is not yet issued). The second subject or learning areas require a separate application at the University of Muenster, and enrolment is only possible if both universities admit the applicant in a permitted subject combination. Master of Education entry also requires a relevant Bachelor with the subjects, educational sciences, school orientation placement and vocational-field internship; proof of teacher-specific language skills (section 11 LZV); and the self-assessment for teaching students no older than three months at the time of application. International applicants need German at C1 for teaching degrees (DSH-2, TestDaF TDN 4, telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule, Goethe-Zertifikat C2 or DSD II at C1).
