Founded in 1764, the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig (HGB) is one of the oldest state art academies in Germany. Around 600 students are currently studying in the four degree programs Painting/Graphics, Book Art/Graphic Design, Photography and Media Art.In addition, a Master's course in Curatorial Cultures was founded in 2009. This continuing education course is unique in Germany in this form and combines application-oriented research practice with academic reflection.
