About the University of the Arts Bremen
Around 1,000 students from over 50 countries, 64 professors, 85 administrative staff and around 150 lecturers make Bremen University of the Arts a lively place.
The HfK is a university of apparent contrasts. It is regionally anchored and yet extremely internationally orientated. It extends across various locations in the city, which are very different, from classicist to floating and contemporary. It is both an art and music university. This context, which characterises the university, is of particular quality and forms a framework that makes it possible to strengthen both collective and individual artistic development.
The study programme includes Fine Arts, Integrated Design, Digital Media as well as Artistic and Artistic-Pedagogical Education in Music. Since 2020, the HfK has also offered the opportunity to complete a doctorate as part of the artistic-scientific PhD programme, particularly in the focus areas of Integrated Design and Digital Media. Open courses and joint examination supervision as well as workshops, studios and thematic projects specifically promote dialogue and collaboration. With around 400 events a year, the HfK is one of the cultural and social pillars of the city of Bremen.
The relationship between the members of the university community, their diverse collaborations, the close-knit supervision and the various regional and international collaborations help the students to develop strong individual characters. This ultimately results in work that is highly relevant to society.
