College of Arts and Media, Cologne

The Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM), opened in 1990, offers an educational concept that cross-links and integrates the fields of teaching of film, art and theory in one single diploma degree course titled Media and Fine Arts (since summer term 2011, before called Audiovisual Media). This is unique in Germany and contrasts with the traditional academic class or master student principle of art academies and other art schools where study courses are divided into classes or subjects.
