Berlin University Fellowship Program For International Students 2023 [Apply Here]
Berlin University Fellowship Program For International Students 2023 – The Berlin University Fellowship Program is targeted at graduates from all artistic and scientific areas who see collaboration with experts from other fields as a crucial component of their work. The fellowship offers recipients the chance to work closely on developing, creating, or realizing their own project for two years.
Additionally, the Graduate School provides opportunities for individual supervision by professors from the fields of Fine Arts, Performing Arts, Music, and Architecture, Media, and Design, as well as for teaching and project integration within the framework of interdisciplinary collaborations between arts and sciences at the Berlin University of the Arts.
The Graduate School views itself as an
academic venue for discussion and exchange that aids fellows in furthering their work both practically and conceptually and discursively.
Thus, we are particularly interested in speaking with applicants who are eager to engage in group discussions, exchange ideas, and collaborative work with other actors at the Berlin University of the Arts.
