Academy of Art in Berlin
Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee
The School of Art and Design Berlin Weissensee was founded in 1946 by artists associated with the Bauhaus. The former director Mart Stam [1899 ? 1986] left a strong impression on the Art School which can still be felt today. He was the initiator of the joint interdisciplinary foundation course before he was dismissed for political reasons in 1952 and left the GDR shortly afterwards. Today the School of Art and Design Berlin Weissensee commemorates this pioneering director with its support association, the Mart Stam Association. Since 1947 when the Soviet Military Administration issued the School with the necessary licence, the Schol or Art and Design Berlin Weissensee gained state recognition as a university of art.
The School of Art and Design Berlin Weissensee offers art study courses ranging from Sculpture, Stage / Costume Design, Communication Design, Painting, Fashion Design, Industrial Design to Textile / Surface Design. A one-year obligatory study of basics in combination with the taught theoretical background and the 11 studios are part of the student?s education in Berlin Weissensee.
Great emphasis is furthermore placed on international exchange.

The School of Art and Design Berlin Weissensee has occupied one of the top ranks among 250 German universities in the ERASMUS European student exchange programme (DAAD statistics) as well as some 60 exchange students from European countries come to Weissensee every year.
