Graduation 2021/22 – Impressions

07.02.2022

Congratulations, dear graduates of the winter semester 2021/22!

The ceremonial presentation of certificates by Rector Maren Schmohl, Dean Prof. Peter Ott and Administrative Director Stefan Grünenwald took place at a small graduation ceremony. We said goodbye to our new Master of Arts and Bachelor of Arts. Unfortunately, not all graduates could be present, but all theses – and a showcase of their work – will be presented in our digital exhibition, which will start on February 18, 2022!

Graduates and their guests were able to see the final projects on site.
