Industrial Culture stands for the study and examination of the economic, technological and cultural history of modernity. A major focus is on communicating the results of recent research, for example in museums.

The master’s program in Industrial Culture provides in-depth knowledge of economic, social and technological developments since modernity, and students practice researching and communicating this knowledge in a practice-oriented way. The program is aimed primarily at graduates with a bachelor's degree in history, economics, art history, archaeology, architecture, museum studies or heritage conservation. With its great tradition of industrial history and its numerous industrial monuments and technical museums, Saxony offers an ideal environment for teaching and research in industrial culture.
