Artistic excellence
The heart of the UdK Berlin is arts education. Outstandingly staffed professorships in all colleges and the inter-university centres, as well as the ongoing further development of teaching concepts, help to ensure and continuously improve the high level of education in the arts and art-related academic fields at the UdK Berlin.
This also applies to the teacher training programmes in music, fine arts and theatre.
Without compromising on their arts and design disciplines, the faculties promote an overall view of the arts through interdisciplinary projects, common theoretical approaches and the strengthening of academic fields. In this way, the UdK Berlin gives its students the opportunity to engage with and experiment with other art forms at an early stage, in order to recognise and expand the boundaries of their own discipline.

Researching in the space for reflection between arts, humanities, and sciences
The UdK Berlin is a research-intensive arts university: the unique combination of arts and academic subjects leads to a specific research and qualification environment of artistic practice and research, basic research and application orientation. The UdK Berlin has the right to award doctorates and habilitations in its academic disciplines . Facilities such as the Berlin Open Lab and the Hybrid Platform support inter- and transdisciplinary research and transfer projects between the arts, science and technology. The Berlin Centre for Advanced Studies in Arts and Sciences links postgraduate qualifications and research projects within the university. The UdK Berlin is also an important partner in research networks in the Berlin-Brandenburg region on digitalisation and sustainability. In particular, there is close cooperation with Berlin's universities in cutting-edge research and the promotion of young researchers.
„Through the interaction between the arts, humanities and sciences in a very confined space, research at the UdK Berlin develops innovative interdisciplinary paradigms and methods that set standards in their radicalism. ”

International anchoring of the UdK Berlin in Europe and worldwide
Due to the broad spectrum of its study programmes, the UdK Berlin has an outstanding position worldwide as a "university for all the arts". This is reflected in the diverse international relationships in Europe and worldwide with art academies, music conservatories, dance or drama schools, as well as with creative arts or scientific faculties of large full universities. Among the 164 active international partner universities of the UdK Berlin, two thirds are in Europe. The exchange activities in the EU area are financed through the ERASMUS+ programme, global exchanges e.g. through the Swiss-European Mobility Programme, the US-Fulbright scholarship, the German-French Youth Office, various DAAD scholarships or from University funds. The UdK Berlin is committed to refugee students and works as an active member in several international networks on the future of higher arts education.
„A semester abroad, international study trips or internships have a lasting professional and personal impact. They strengthen transnational and intercultural awareness and global cohesion.”
