  abstract     = {{This paper presents a pioneering approach to integrating artistic research into the curriculum of
German universities of applied sciences (UAS). Recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities
presented by artistic disciplines in higher education, we have developed modules for a master's
program that blend epistemological content with the fundamentals of artistic research. This initiative
addresses the current disparity in qualification opportunities for artistic disciplines at the UAS level,
where artistic achievements are legally equated with scientific accomplishments, yet opportunities for
higher qualification in these fields are limited.
Our approach is anchored in the belief that artistic research, a field that challenges traditional research
paradigms by valuing artful knowledge alongside scientific knowledge, deserves a structured and
recognized pathway within the academic system. Drawing from relevant legal texts and documents
that equate artistic and scientific qualifications of personnel, we argue for the integration of artistic
research into the curriculum as a step towards rectifying the existing imbalance and
underrepresentation of artistic disciplines in higher education.
