University Entrance Qualification

To apply for studies at the Kunstakademie Karlsruhe, proof of general or a permissible subject-specific university entrance qualification is required. If the relevant certificate has not yet been issued at the time of the application, an up-to-date certificate from the school (latest semester grades) must be uploaded to the application portal. Admission is provisional until the later submission of the university entrance qualification.

Additionally, the completion of a supplementary exam (Delta exam) can allow admission to a Bachelor's Educators degree even with a non-recognized subject-specific university entrance qualification or a Fachhochschulreife (university of applied sciences entrance qualification).

Admission to the Diploma programme Fine Arts is also possible without a university entrance qualification if exceptional artistic talent and sufficient general education (through a talent exam) are demonstrated.

 

For applicants with international educational qualifications:

  • German nationals with international educational qualifications residing in Germany must provide a certificate confirming the equivalency of their qualifications, including the average grade and date of acquisition, from Certificate Recognition Office of the Regierungspräsidium Stuttgart.
  • International applicants holding a foreign university entrance qualification must have the degree equivalency confirmed by the Stuttgart Art Academy before submitting their application.

 

The subsequent path to the general university entrance qualification - Delta examination:

It is possible for prospective students with a Fachhochschulreife or Fachgebundener Hochschulreife (subject-specific higher education entrance qualification) to take up studies in a subject area or at a type of university for which the school entrance qualification did not previously allow the route. This pathway to a Bachelor's Artistic Educator programme at universities or the Kunstakademie Karlsruhe is available through the Delta Exam.
