Incoming Exchange Students

The weißensee school of art berlin has a network of some 110 international art academies with whom it has bilateral exchange agreements. The student* exchange has a long tradition and is actively promoted.

As we receive every semester much more applications that we are able to offer places, the application process for an exchange semester is mainly open to students from our partner universities and for scholarship holders (e.g. DAAD and Fulbright). In particular cases students can also be admitted as "Free Exchange" students.
 

• The application periods under the exchange program are:
   
• For the winter term (Oct-Feb)
  from March 1st - April 15th
   
• For summer term (Apr-Jul)
  from October 1st – November 15th.

The online portal is open for applications only during the application period!
Please scroll down for the weblink.
 

Please note: all students applying for an exchange have to be nominated by their home institution/university to be eligible to apply for exchange studies.

The exchange coordinator at your home institution must confirm your nomination to the weißensee school of art berlin by document, which has to be uploaded by the nominees as pdf-file in our application portal.

If you are interested in attending weißensee academy of art berlin as an exchange student for one semester the first thing you should do is to check with your Exchange Coordinator or International Office in your home institution to find out if your home university/institution has an exchange agreement with us.
