Projects

Hardly anywhere else is the topical and methodological wealth of research at the Film University more evident than in the creative proliferation of postgraduate qualification projects. At the same time, these projects, their development, and their success are the touchstone for the quality of our support for young talent. The projects are in a constant state of flux until they are completed, which is why the following overview offers only a snapshot. Completed and published dissertations can also be found under Publications and in the library catalog.
