There are four steps to studying at HfG Karlsruhe:
For the application to our university, among other things, a portfolio with selected work (practical subjects) and a letter of motivation must be submitted. At the beginning of the year, prospective students can receive intensive advice in the individual departments about their studies and their portfolio (concerning the practical subjects).
Applications for admission to the course must be submitted for the following winter semester between March 1 and April 30 of the respective year (deadline).
UPDATE: We are extending the application deadline for three of our five degree programmes to start in winter semester 2025

For Exhibition Design & Scenography until 15.5.25.
For Art Studies & Media Philosophy also until 15.5.25.
The documents for the application, the letter of motivation and the portfolio in PDF format (practical subjects) must be submitted online
If all admission requirements are met, the professional or artistic/technical aptitude is determined in a multi-stage procedure.
Online enrollment for the winter semester must be completed no later than August 15.
The academic freedom of non-modular course studies at HfG Karlsruhe means that Bachelor and Master courses are not offered. The studies are concluded with a Diplom or a Magister. Full Bologna compatibility is ensured and the degrees are recognized internationally.
