Studying music, dance, or theater at one of Germany’s universities of the arts is very popular among international students who seek to thrive and develop their skills in the free-spirited and diverse atmosphere present among the artists working and studying at these schools. Competitive entrance procedures are sometimes viewed as a sign of prestige of the schools and talent of the students who made it through the process.

For those interested in Performing Arts beyond its more conventional branches, there are also Master’s programs offered in English focusing on film, photography, digital animations or serial storytelling.

The schools offering these programs are often located in Germany’s bigger cities with vibrant cultural scenes and many opportunities to connect with other artists, such as Dresden, Berlin, Hamburg or Cologne.
