2. COURSE CHOICE

Study Mode*

Students enrolled on this part-time course may not be eligible for a student visa in Germany. This is because student visas are normally only granted to full-time students. If you do not hold an EU passport and and would need a residency permit to live in Berlin, then you may need to apply for a different visa type. We recommend checking the website of your local German consulate/embassy to find out what is possible for citizens from your country.

5. MASTERS PROJECT PROPOSAL

How would you spend one year full-time or two years part-time dedicated to an artistic research topic of your choice? Your project proposal is an important line in the sand. While the trajectory and shape of the project will naturally evolve over the course of your research, it’s important to make a clear statement of intention at the outset and present a well-thought out plan to guide your endeavours.

Your initial proposal will not only define the starting point of your Master’s research but also sets the stage for ongoing discussions between you and your supervisor. Your idea should be something you are genuinely excited about, relevant to your personal creative practice as well as of interest to the wider artistic and academic community.

We look forward to learning more about it.
