In words of the HfMDK:

"The university’s central task is to train students to become professional and socially responsible artists, educators and scientists, both in the teaching of the arts as well as in scientific research.

The intensive personal, artistic and academic supervision of students, the combination of theory and practice, and the many cooperation projects between Departments and with external partners are the hallmark of the high-quality education offered by the HfMDK’s three Departments and are what makes the HfMDK Frankfurt am Main a special place to study."
