Institute
At the Institute for Education in the Arts (IKL), contemporary artistic and creative activity in art, design, fashion and architecture are closely linked to theory-guided reflection, didactics, and mediation.
The studies at the IKL results in receiving professional qualifications for teaching at secondary level in Austria (e.g. AHS, BHS, NMS). The interdisciplinary orientation enables graduates to work in art and cultural education, in artistic, creative and scientific-research contexts as well as in curatorial practice.
The IKL encompasses the two fields of study Art and Education and Design and Context as well as the educational science-pedagogical field of study Pedagogy, Arts and Culture. Art, design, mediation and didactics are developed intersectionally with a view to societal transformation processes through climate crisis, migration, decolonization, queer feminism, and digitality.
The following study programs are offered:
Bachelor’s and master’s degrees (in cooperation with the PH Vienna):
- Art and Education
- Design and Context
Doctoral studies, Dr. phil.
Based on the curriculum, the IKL cooperates with the Institute of Fine Arts (IBK), the Institute of Art Theory and Cultural Studies (IKW) and the Institute of Art and Architecture (IKA).
Internationally, the IKL cooperates with other artistic teacher-training programs, pedagogical education institutions, civil society partners (citizen science) and institutions of emancipatory art education, critical art, architecture, fashion and migration research, as well as contemporary feminist theory formation. In the doctoral seminars, many international students write their dissertations in English.
The IKL’s Karl Schweighofer Gasse campus has classrooms, workshops, and laboratories for artistic, design, craft, and digital techniques in textiles, wood, metal, fashion, ceramics, painting, drawing, video, photography, printmaking, screen printing, performance, installation, sound, art-based arts education, and animation.
Key research areas include art didactics and digitality; materiality and sustainability; art and cultural pedagogy; architecture and urban studies; fashion and textile studies; care; curatorial practices/museum studies; circular design/repair; practice-based knowledge and transformation processes in art, design, education, and didactics.

KI Care Café - networking, exchanging ideas, thinking ahead
on artificial intelligence in art classes
The KI Care Café is a practice-oriented exchange for art teachers and student teachers in art and design, but is open to anyone interested. Over three evenings, we will explore ways to meaningfully use artificial intelligence in art classes and in supervising student work. Invited experts will provide insights into current AI technologies and related issues and potential. This will be followed by an exchange of experiences on everyday teaching, the critical use of various tools, and the collaborative development of new ideas. The format promotes networking and provides space to reflect on AI in the context of art education, school practice, and beyond.
We invite you to a relaxed evening get-together in the Academy Library, including snacks and drinks. Everyone is welcome!
