Academy of Art in Berlin
Universität der Künste
In an eventful history spanning more than 300 years, the “Berlin University of the Arts” (UdK) has not only grown into one of Europe's leading universities but also to one of its most varied in terms of the art courses it offers. Due to its capacity for continual change, the UdK is regarded today as a pioneer in the fields of pedagogy, research, and its overall structure.
More than 30 artistic-scientific and pedagogical study programmes are offered at the UdK. In addition to the study of fine arts, architecture, media and design, music, and the performing arts, the range is complemented by opportunities in educational and social science for student teachers.
Thinking above and beyond disciplinary borders is realised daily in interdisciplinary institutions and in the form of projectbased cooperations. Thus acquiring competences in link, technology extends the range of artistic vision and is highly demanded by many future employers. As both a laboratory and a forum for the arts, sciences and research the UdK is engaged in active and proactive dialogue not only with the public, but also with its economic, financial, cultural and political partners.
As the initiator of the international network (NICA) of leading art and music universities all around the globe the University offers over one hundred international university partnerships. At the present time, more than 800 foreign students, which corresponds to about 20 percent of all students, are enrolled at the UdK.
The University is part of Berlin, and Berlin is part of the University. Few cities in Europe offer such variety in cultural and artistic trends at present as the German capital: located at a pivotal point between East and West, it is a melting pot of cultural scenes. Teachers and students of the University present their work to the public more than 800 times per year. These events have become an important part in Berlin's cultural calendar.
