Based on an annually changing thematic focus from the field of art and architecture history, the students are to write a scientific paper. Within the framework of the seminar, basic scientific working methods and approaches to the methodical and content-related structuring of the work are taught.
Students are required to prepare a short academic work on the basis of a topic focus changing each year from the field of the history of art and architecture.
