FOR CURRENT REASONS – APPLICATIONS IN MAY 2021:
For admission in the winter semester 2021/22, the aptitude tests for all Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes at Muthesius University of the Arts will once again only take place in digital form and without on-site presence.This measure is intended to slow down an increasing spread of the coronavirus and reduce the risks of infection for staff, the general population and the numerous participants from Germany and abroad. The decision for an exclusively digital implementation of the aptitude test at Muthesius University of the Arts was made in awareness of the responsibility of society as a whole.
In addition to the procedure, the deadlines for the proficiency test have also changed. Read the relevant information for you in detail here:
Step 1: Submission of your personal application documents.

*****************************************
During pandemic-free periods:
Our applicants are mostly high-school/secondary school graduates (Abitur). However, people who have an extraordinary, artistic talent can also study at the Muthesius without having the necessary certificates – not however Fine Arts for Secondary School Teachers. How do you know that you qualify to study at the Muthesius University? To clear this up from the start, our teaching staff offers Portfolio Consultations. We recommend you take one of these one year in advance of beginning your studies. This allows enough time to gather all your strength for the artistic aptitude examination.
