Admission Requirements
Studying Applied Theatre Studies or Choreography and Performance successfully requires artistic ability. The required aesthetic judgment and artistic aptitude are determined within the framework of an artistic aptitude test, therefore interested students must first apply for the artistic aptitude test at the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies. Only after passing the artistic aptitude, it is possible to apply for a place at the university via the application portal within the enrollment deadlines (usually by July 15). Please inform yourself individually at the beginning of June about the enrollment deadlines for the semester in question, as these may differ from the above-mentioned deadline (e.g. due to a pandemic, etc.).
The process of the artistic aptitude test for the BA Applied Theatre Studies consists of three components: 1) submission of a portfolio consisting of two to three realized artistic works or concepts 2) a written examination and 3) an oral examination.
The artistic aptitude test for the MA Applied Theatre Studies and the MA Choreography and Perormance consists of only two steps, 1) submission of a portfolio consisting of two to three realized artistic works and 2) an oral examination, which in the case of the Master Choreography and Performance includes the presentation of a work.
The annually updated deadlines and dates for the artistic aptitude test will be published here.
Each year, the Institute admits 20-25 students to the Bachelor program, 15-20 students to the MA Applied Theatre Studies and 5-10 students to the MA Choreography and Performance. The restriction of admission to highly motivated students allows for individual support, especially in regards to the students’ artistic projects, but also in their academic learning. In the performance projects and practical courses,work is conducted in small groups, in which the teachers and students will seek to collectively explore new ways of learning, teaching and conducting research.
