Studying atFolkwang

Are you interested in studying at the Folkwang University of the Arts?As the sole art AND music university in the state of North-Rhine Westphalia (NRW), we offer a wide range of subjects in the fields of music, theatre, dance, design and academic studies. The about 1,600 students and a teaching staff of over 400 come from the four corners of the earth. We at Folkwang attach particular importance to exchange and diversity.

Since 1927, the fundamental idea of our training has been interdisciplinary work and the fusion of the arts. For example, both the exchange amongst the various disciplines and stage/live experience is from the outset an integral component of your study course. Each Folkwang study course clearly highlights not only innovative art forms and concepts but also the constant reference to the professional and everyday world of artists, academic professionals, pedago-gues and designers. Folkwang offers you some 40 study courses and programmes,

including the internationally recognised Bachelor and Master degree and Artist Diploma. In addition to special forms of study such as junior study courses and guest student programmes, you can also take doctoral and postdoctoral pro-grammes as well as participate in further educational courses.

And whatever subject you decide on: studying at the Folkwang University of the Arts means studying in an extraor-dinary atmosphere, at special locations, in historically listed and architectural award-winning buildings – in the heart of the Ruhr Metropolis. With campuses in Essen-Werden, Essen-Zollverein, Duisburg, Bochum and Dortmund (Orchesterzentrum|NRW), we are anchored in one of the culturally and industrially most interesting urban centres of Europe.
