Overview

The Jewellery program offered by Pforzheim University is characterized by expanding and shaping the broader concept of „jewellery“ and is involved in the contexts of material and technology, body and space, series and one-offs as well as tradition and innovation. Jewellery is interdisciplinary; the jewellery context imparts a special relevance in relation to the body, space, social development, culture and the environment.

A rigorous approach to experimentation, analysis and critical reflection hones aesthetic self-confidence, independent thinking and confident craftsmanship

Career Paths

Future graduates of the M.A. in Jewellery will provide innovative, enriching and viable impulses in the diverse field of jewellery and related areas through their strong, individual design language and attitude. They possess a high level of material and technical expertise and the ability to engage in critical discourse.

They are characterized by the complex development and implementation of ideas, concepts and design.

They reflect on the ethical and sustainable positioning, communication, production and marketing in their own work and are empowered to design jewellery in its symbolic and haptic manifestation of material and form in relation to its production, the wearer and the interaction.
