Short Description
The intergenerational and interdisciplinary Certificate of Studies in Aesthetic Education and Creative Design, run by the Centre for Continuing Education at Leibniz Universität Hannover, is open to students from all faculties as well as occasional students. The programme involves aesthetic projects ranging from the comprehensive sensitisation of perception to processes of independent creative design, based on a close connection between practical experience and theoretical reflection. Rather than being continuing education for artists, the study programme seeks to achieve the concentrated development of aesthetic skills in the interplay of the university’s range of subjects. A whole host of artistic and scientific techniques are offered, as well as exercises on perception, self-experience and the experience of difference, and on forms of adequate presentation. The institute’s artistic/experimental workshop provides a wide variety of media and materials for creative activities. Painting, print graphics, drawing, photography, video, installation and performance follow the basic idea of “art across media”.
Course Content
- Aesthetic dimensions of educational work
- Aesthetic projects

The Certificate of Studies is devoted to the specific development of creativity and aesthetic skills in occupational and non-occupational areas of activity. Students learn reflected aesthetic experience and creative approaches in a combination of theory and practice. The programme primarily gives students the opportunity to use their senses and reflect on works of art and their own artistic processes and to independently develop aesthetic potential. Students who have completed the programme have acquired fundamental perception and design skills (power of visual evaluation) and the capacity to develop and present aesthetic projects in a practical manner with theoretical reflection.
