Doctoral degree regulations for a doctorate in philosophy from Faculty 04 – Performing Arts – at the Berlin University of the Arts
of June 18, 1984 as amended on July 5, 2012
Based on Section 71 Paragraph 1 No. 1 of the law on Berlin universities in the state of Berlin (Berliner Hochschulgesetz - BerlHG) in
the new version of July 26, 2011 (GVBl. p. 378), the Faculty Council of Faculty 04 - Performing Arts - In its meeting on July 5, 2012, the
doctoral degree regulations for the Doctor of Philosophy dated June 18, 1984 in the version dated February 13, 2007 (UdK Gazette
5/2007 dated July 10, 2007) changed. This is replaced by the following:
§ 1 Promotion
(1) The Faculty 04 - Performing Arts - of the Berlin University of the Arts awards the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Dr. phil.) on the
basis of the completed doctorate in a scientific subject represented in teaching and research at the Faculty 04.
(2) The doctorate proves a special scientific qualification.
(3) The doctoral work consists of the dissertation (§ 8) and the disputation (§ 10).
§ 2 Admission to the doctoral procedure and admission requirements
(1) Admission to doctoral studies generally requires the successful completion of an artistic-scientific master's
degree with a recognizable theoretical focus from a university or technical college or a university degree of
comparable level that corresponds to the profile of the faculty and the doctoral degree to be awarded.
Sections 3, 4 and 5 regulate the admission requirements for other qualifications as well. Insofar as a master’s
degree has not been preceded by an undergraduate degree, admission to a doctorate is also only permitted if
the necessary suitability has been proven in such a procedure.
(2) The Doctoral Committee may request proof of additional study achievements and/or professional qualifications if the
final examination was taken in a subject that does not correspond to the profile of the faculty or the doctoral degree to be
awarded, or if, in the case of studying abroad, a Equivalency of the degree must be brought about.
(3) The prerequisite for admission to the doctoral procedure is the successful completion of a subject that is essential
for the doctorate at a university within the scope of the German Basic Law
− a master's examination totaling 300 credit points, including the previously completed bachelor's degree, or
− a master's examination including an aptitude test if no bachelor's degree was previously completed, or
− a master's degree at a university or equivalent college, or
− a diploma examination at a university or equivalent college, or

− a first state examination for a teaching position.
(4) After passing a bachelor’s examination in a subject essential for the doctorate, admission can be granted if
the degree was awarded with an above-average grade and an assessment test was successfully carried out by
a full-time university lecturer in a subject essential for the doctorate. The doctoral committee decides on the
form of the assessment test.
(5) If the applicant has a degree other than that provided for in paragraphs 3 and 4, he or she can be admitted to the
doctoral procedure if his or her qualifications for the doctoral subject are guaranteed. The doctoral committee can
admit the applicant to the doctoral procedure with the condition that he or she provide evidence within a certain
period of time, the acquisition of which is usual in the university degree required under paragraph 3 or to
supplement the knowledge demonstrated by the applicant for the intended doctorate is required.
(6) An equivalent examination at a university outside the scope of the Basic Law also counts as a degree in accordance with
paragraph 3. If there are doubts about the equivalence, a certificate of equivalence must be obtained from the Central Office for
Foreign Education at the Secretariat of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education of the Federal States in the Federal
Republic of Germany. In the event that the foreign university degree is not classified by the Central Office for Foreign Education, the
doctoral committee will check the comparability of these university degrees. If equivalence is not established, the doctoral
committee will examine whether equivalence can be established after the conditions set out in paragraph 4 have been met.
(7) If the degree, with the exception of the Bachelor's and Master's degrees, was obtained at a university of applied sciences, proof of the relevant
qualification must be provided. This is done by taking a final examination at a university of applied sciences in a subject that is essential for the
doctorate. The doctoral committee decides whether to proceed in accordance with paragraph 4 or 5 in individual cases.
Gazette of the Berlin University of the Arts 10 / 2013 page 3

Study regulations for the “Art and Media” course at Faculty 02 – Design – at the Berlin University of the Arts
dated June 12, 2013
Due to § 71 paragraph 1 sentence 1 no. 1 of the law on universities in the state of Berlin (Berliner Hochschulgesetz - BerlHG) in the
new version of July 26, 2011 (GVBl. p. 378), the faculty council of faculty 02 - design - the Berlin University of the Arts decided on June
12th, 2013 the following regulations:
§ 1 Scope
§ 2 Subject and goals of the course
§ 3 Start of studies
§ 4 Duration and scope of studies
§ 5 Study structure
§ 6 Forms of courses
§ 7 Proof of study achievements
§ 8 Graduation
§ 9 Subject Advisory Service
§ 10 Entry into force, expiration, transitional regulations
Attachment: Curriculum
§ 1 Scope
These study regulations contain information about the goals, content and organization of the course. It applies in conjunction with the examination
regulations for this course. Otherwise, the regulations of the framework study and examination regulations of the Berlin University of the Arts from July
4, 2012 (UdK-Anzeiger 1/2013 from January 8, 2013) apply.
(1) Artistic training in time-based media (film, video, sound, computers) is the subject of the course. It is not aimed at
sector-specific areas of application, but follows the development logic of artistic work with and in the media and the
future professional fields that will result from it. The course also prepares for the master class course at the highest
artistic level.
(2) The central subject of study are time-based media and their artistic design. The time-based media are based on
the creative and technical processes of photography, film and electronic and computer-aided image and sound
media. Artistic design is the innovative application and experimental testing of new visual and audio language and
dramaturgical means, and generally new relationships and correspondences between the various media.
(3) The time-based media are seen and conveyed as independent media of artistic practice. Ample space is given to the
study of their correspondence and the design of multimedia links in the form of interactive systems, media installations and
generative art. The different time-based media form the space of possibilities for the various subject classes of the
networked course "Art and Media".
(4) Artistic practice in the "Art and Media" course is the aesthetic, formal, content-related and technical development
and experimental research of time-based media in conception, design and execution through individual and group
work. It is closely related to other artistic and creative areas of the Berlin University of the Arts.
(5) The aim of the course is to use the time-based media of film, video, sound and computers as a means of expressing free artistic
design and to develop an independent form of artistic expression and authorship within this framework.
(6) The concept of independent artistic practice also includes the subject and study goal of dealing with time-based
media as a means of mass communication processes. The training is accompanied by theoretical courses.
Knowledge of the aesthetic, communication science and theoretical foundations of time-based media and their
history is necessary in order to be able to reflect on one's own artistic work.
(7) In order to strengthen the holistic approach of the course, the Studium Generale of the UdK Berlin is integrated.
In addition to an introductory course in cultural studies, students in the “Art and Media” course can take an
interdisciplinary course and other courses of their choice. In addition to the introductory lecture, students with
insufficient knowledge of German can take part in intercultural mentoring and events of their choice.
Gazette of the Berlin University of the Arts 10 / 2013 Page 10
Performance records or certificates are not required. The Studium Generale has the following content and qualification goals:
− The Studium Generale imparts a cultural-scientific orientation. In cultural studies, the Studium Generale enables students
to participate in an overarching socio-cultural discourse and to get involved in "culture as a whole way of life" (Reynold
Williams). The examination of cultural-scientific theories and methods takes place in such a way that implementation in
artistic practice is promoted.
− The Studium Generale imparts interdisciplinary and artistic orientation. In the interdisciplinary artistic practice and theory,
the students get to know other art-related patterns of thought and action theoretically and practically - as a basis for
artistic cooperation. At the center of competence development are collective artistic processes, the courage for
experimental work - and the theoretical, scientific reflection and practical interpretation of such experiences.
Interdisciplinary project work is (also) practiced as guided identity work so that the students learn to consciously position
themselves in the diversifying world of the arts.
− The Studium Generale imparts intercultural orientation. In intercultural mentoring, foreign students are encouraged to effectively
master their linguistic, social and institutional integration at the university from the very beginning of their studies.
In intercultural mentoring, foreign students will enter into an intercultural dialogue with each other and with German
fellow students under the guidance of student mentors. By jointly exploring the cultural environment in Berlin, which is
characterized by diversity, and reflecting on it, they build up intercultural competence. Achievements by foreign students
in intercultural mentoring are recognized as achievements in cultural studies within the framework of the Studium
Generale.
The course begins in both the summer and winter semesters.
(1) The "Art and Media" course is divided into the following sections:
1. At least four semesters of basic studies in time-based media in a degree program at the University of the
Arts or in an artistic or design degree program at an art college, university or equivalent college, whereby
basic training in theory and practice of time-based media must be given, and
2. a six-semester course of study in artistic specialist classes of the course “Art and Media” on the basis of these regulations.
(2) The scope of study per semester is 12 SWS artistic class and an average of 6 SWS minor subjects according to the curriculum. The
total scope of the course work is 108 SWS.
(1) Artistic training takes place in the various subject classes of the “Art and Media” course. This enables
interdisciplinary training within a secure study framework.
(2) The time-based media of film, video, sound and computers are to be studied as independent artistic forms of expression in their
basics and experimentally researched forms of language, as well as in the context of other arts. In addition to the specialist classes
that work directly with film, video and computers, the study focuses on researching the diverse possibilities of networking these
media, the design and design of interactive systems and installations, the dramaturgy and construction of imaginary architectures in
time and innovative narration and program design.
(3) By choosing an artistic specialist class and corresponding events over several (but at most four) semesters, a
specialist focus can be set in the course of study. With a normal course duration of six semesters, the selected
subject class must therefore be changed at least once.
(4) The following project fields for the artistic design in the time-based media are developed from the specialist classes. They are not
identical to the work areas of the specialist classes:

8. Internship (PR)
The types of courses mentioned are essentially characterized by the following features:
1. The students receive "individual artistic instruction" for the artistic work they have done in the time-based media,
which was created on their own initiative or as a result of assigned tasks or is in the development stage.
2. "Project studies" is the teaching of artistic and creative content and techniques using projects that are
developed as tasks or as individual initiatives.
3. "Free projects" work on cross-curriculum issues within the framework of an artistic class. The study work on
a free project can be done through the cooperation of teachers and/or students from different courses or
through participation in a project in another course. The purpose of the free project is to link several
disciplines within and outside the Faculty of Design.
4. "Workshop work, exercises and courses" generally serve to lay the foundation for experience with creative
activities in the artistic-creative and technical areas of time-based media. The number of participants can be
limited due to limited workshop capacities.
5. "Lectures" provide an overview of the history and forms of artistic creation in the time-based media of film, video
and computers. Lectures can also include research approaches in the respective artistic field and the presentation
of methodological approaches and current discourses. In the lectures, general and subject-specific topics and
fields of work of artistic design in time-based media are presented and explained. Space should be given to the
development logic of the media and the resulting future possibilities for artistic work in and with time-based
media.
6. "Seminars and colloquia" are held in artistic, creative, scientific and theoretical subjects Questions and
methods of artistic, scientific and creative work and the corresponding content are conveyed. They serve to
introduce the students to independent artistic, creative and scientific work. A reference to the study
projects enables the processing and application of theoretical information for artistic problem solving.
7. "Excursions" deepen and supplement the teaching content. The course conducts field trips on study-related topics.
8. "Internships" serve to relate and expand the knowledge and skills acquired within the university with the existing professional
fields of activity. They are considered additional services. Internships should be organized in such a way that they do not
interfere with the regular course of study.
(1) The requirements and conditions for awarding a performance record are determined by the responsible teacher
at the beginning of a course. The awarding of performance records requires regular attendance and collaboration in
courses. Evidence of performance must describe the type and scope of the underlying services.
(2) The following proof of performance must be provided in the Art and Media course:
1. Proof of performance from a subject class for each semester, i.e. a total of six subject class certificates. During the "Art and Media"
course, proof of performance must be provided from at least two different subject classes. A maximum of four performance
records may come from one and the same subject class.
2. Eight performance records for artistic, creative and technical subjects (each with 3 SWS) in time-based media.
3. Two proofs of achievement in art and cultural sciences (art history / art sociology / aesthetics)
4. Two proofs of achievement in media and/or communication science
5. Two proofs of performance in the subject theory “Art and Media”
(3) In addition to the compulsory subjects, students can also take other courses in other courses of the faculty and the university.
Recognition as an additional achievement is carried out by the examination board.
(4) Students can have internships recognized as an additional achievement by the examination board if they last at least 8
weeks and meet the requirements of Section 6, Paragraph 1, Item 8.
(5) Additional achievements and internships are not mandatory, but can be taken into account for the overall evaluation of the study
performance for the final grade.
(6) In addition to course-related achievements, students of the “Art and Media” course can take courses in the
general study area. These achievements are noted as additional achievements in the certificate.
§ 8 Graduation
"Art and Media" is an artistic course of study and concludes with an artistic examination. After passing the exam, the
university degree “graduate” is awarded by the Berlin University of the Arts. This university degree is equivalent to a
master's degree after ten semesters of study as a single-track university degree qualifying for a profession.
(1) A university professor and, as a rule, at least one student assistant are to be employed to provide academic advice. The
advice provides information about the special content and requirements of the subject and helps with individual study
planning, including planning stays abroad without losing time during your studies. The student is recommended to make
use of the academic advice at the end of the basic course and before the start of the six-semester course "Art and Media".
She advises students on all questions relating to their studies and examinations. A counseling session takes place at the
request of the student or at the instigation of a teacher. Instructions are given on how to continue your studies and how to
resolve existing difficulties. The achieved level of performance should be related to the courses offered by the Berlin
University of the Arts as well as to the study intensity and self-assessment of the students. Any necessary changes in the
training situation must be taken into account.
(2) At the beginning of the "Art and Media" course, an information event is offered in which the representatives of the
teaching areas explain the course of study and subject options to the students with regard to a meaningful course
structure.
(3) In the third semester of the "Art and Media" course, advice on the course of studies is offered. In addition, the
participation in the course advisory service is one of the main professional tasks of all university teachers.
(1) These study regulations come into force on the day after their publication in the gazette of the Berlin University of the Arts.
(2) At the same time, the study regulations of January 21, 2009 (Announcement 2/2009 of March 20, 2009) are no longer in force.
(3) Students who are already enrolled when the new study regulations come into force can choose within the first semester after they come
into force whether they want to complete their studies according to these or the regulations of January 21, 2009. The decision cannot be
revised.

§ 8 Examiners
(1) The professors of the “Art and Media” course as well as the other professors of the Berlin University of the
Arts are authorized to examine. Academic employees can be appointed as examiners if they have passed an
examination comparable to the final examination and university teachers are not available in sufficient
numbers. Persons experienced in professional practice and training in artistic media design can be appointed
as examiners, even if they are not teaching.
(2) The examiners are appointed by the examination board. The candidate has the right to propose the examiners.
The examination board should only deviate from the candidate's proposal in justified cases, in particular to ensure
an even load on the examination. Only those who have at least the qualification to be determined by the
examination or an equivalent qualification may be examiners.
(3) The examination board for the final examination consists of five people, including three university teachers.
In any case, the members of the examination committee include the university professor who supervised the
work presented by the students for the final examination.

(1) If a student proves that he or she is unable to complete examinations and coursework in the intended form
in whole or in part due to long-term or permanent physical impairments or disabilities, the examination board
shall submit a written application In consultation with the student and the examiner, measures are
determined as to how equivalent examinations and coursework can be completed within an extended
processing time or in another form.
(2) Insofar as the compliance with deadlines for the notification of achievements, the provision of achievements, the repetition of
achievements, the reasons for missing achievements and the observance of processing times for achievements are affected, the illness of
students is the illness of one or of a close relative and the sole care required for this by the student. Close relatives are children, parents,
grandparents, spouses and life partners. The same applies based on the regulations in Sections 3 and 6 of the Maternity Protection Act for
pregnant women and women who have recently given birth. The Examination Board will set deviating deadlines in consultation with the
student upon receipt of a justified written request. Students are free to make use of these different deadlines.
(1) The final examination is passed if the public presentation including the colloquium is rated “passed”, “passed well”
or “passed very well” by the majority of the members of the examination committee.
(2) If the final examination is not passed, it can only be repeated once and in its entirety. This period begins at
the earliest after four weeks, calculated from the day of failure and usually before the start of the lecture
period of the following semester.
(3) The period within which the repeat examination is to be taken is determined by the examination board on the basis of the recommendation of the examination
commission according to paragraph 2.
(4) If the repeated examination is also not passed, it is deemed to have been definitively failed.
(5) The results of examinations are to be announced to the candidates after the conclusion of the deliberations.
The examination board must also inform the candidate in writing of decisions about failed examinations with
justification.
(6) The requirements and conditions for awarding a performance record are determined by the responsible
teacher at the beginning of a course. The assignment of performance records requires regular attendance
and cooperation in the course. Evidence of performance must describe the type and scope of the underlying
services. Failed exams can be repeated once four weeks at the earliest, calculated from the day of failure,
usually before the start of the lecture period of the following semester. If the type of examination does not
allow this date, either another repeat date or another type of examination that is suitable for checking the
academic success of the candidate will be set.
(7) Evaluations of examination decisions must be justified. Written examinations must be assessed in writing.
(8) Those affected can lodge a counter-presentation with the responsible examination board against examination evaluations after the examination
procedure has been completed. Opinions can be raised directly with the Examination Board against evaluations of oral examinations, of examination
parts taken during the course of study or of parts of the examination that are brought forward.
(9) A lack of justification according to paragraph 7 must be made up for immediately upon request. After receipt of the justification, the persons concerned can lodge
a counter-presentation with the examination board in accordance with paragraph 8.
(10) The objections are to be raised within six weeks after notification of the reasoned examination result.
(11) The Examination Board is responsible for the proper implementation of the counter-presentation procedure. He forwards the
counter-submission to the examiners, against whose decision the counter-submission is directed. The Examination Board will inform
the examiners of the examiner's decision on the counter-presentation to those affected.
(12) The examiners make a decision on the counter-submissions within one month. The evaluations concerned and
the reasons for the evaluation must be checked. The result of this review, including the grading, must be justified in
writing in accordance with paragraph 7.
(1) Each examination is to be graded. If there are several examiners for a performance, a joint assessment will be given.
(2) Examinations are evaluated verbally as follows:
"very well passed"
"well done"
"passed"
"failed".
(3) In addition to the scale of grades according to paragraph 2, a relative grade based on the current version of the ECTS Users' Guide is to be
shown. The reference group should include a minimum size within up to three graduation cohorts, which is to be determined by the faculty in
each case. If the number of graduates does not reach the required minimum size, the transcript of grades for the relevant graduation cohort
must be included in the Diploma Supplement.
The final grade is determined by the examination committee based on the overall study performance of the student
educated. In addition to the presentation of the final project and the colloquium, the entire course of study and any additional
achievements including internships are included in this overall assessment.
(1) The standard period of study in this part of the course is six semesters. Adherence to the standard period of study is a
prerequisite for admission to master class studies in the “Art and Media” course.
(2) If there are reasons for exceeding the standard period of study, these will be taken into account according to § 9.
(1) The deadline for registering for the final examination is set by the examination board and announced on the notice board. It is determined in such a
way that the registration for the final examination usually has to take place at the beginning of the lecture period of the last semester. The final exam is
taken in the last semester of the course. The application for admission must be submitted within this period.
(2) The following must be attached to the application:
1. The corresponding performance records, which must be rated at least “passed”, according to § 7 of the study regulations;
2. If applicable, evidence of recognized additional achievements, this may also include evidence of an internship and from the Studium
Generale, if these are to be mentioned in the examination certificate;
3. A declaration as to whether the candidate has already definitively failed a corresponding final examination in the
same or a comparable course of study or whether he or she is in an examination procedure.
(3) Based on the documents submitted, the examination board decides on admission to the final examination. Admission is to be
granted if the requirements according to paragraphs 1 and 2 are met.
(1) The final examination consists of the public presentation of the candidate's study work and the colloquium.
(2) The colloquium takes place after the public presentation. The object of the colloquium is the formal and content-
related discussion of the candidate with his or her work. The colloquium lasts at least 30 minutes.
(3) The colloquium is open to the public at the university unless an examination candidate objects.
(4) Technically high-quality documentation of the study work presented in the final examination must be made available to
the Faculty of Design in digital form so that it can be published on the Internet or another time-based medium. The
Examination Board regulates the details, including possible exceptions to this rule.
(5) The candidate can interrupt an examination for important reasons. This does not affect the previously
completed examinations.
(6) The reason given for the interruption must be reported to the examination board immediately in writing
and substantiated. If the candidate is ill, a medical certificate must be submitted. The examination board can
waive the submission if it is obvious that the candidate is ill.
(7) If the candidate interrupts the examination without an important reason, the examination will be assessed
as “failed”.
(1) Study and examination achievements that were completed at other German or foreign universities (within and outside of the
European region) or in other courses of study at the Berlin University of the Arts are recognized in accordance with the agreement
of April 11, 1997 on the recognition of qualifications in the higher education sector of the European region (Lisbon Convention;
Federal Law Gazette 2007 II p. 712) as long as there are no significant differences to the contrary. Here, no schematic comparison is
decisive, but the overall consideration and overall evaluation. The equivalence agreements approved by the Conference of Ministers
of Education and the Conference of University Rectors as well as agreements within the framework of university cooperation and
partnerships must be observed for the crediting of achievements at foreign universities. In addition, if there are doubts about
comparability, the Central Office for Foreign Education can be consulted. Failed examinations are to be taken into account with
regard to the repeatability of examination achievements. The examination board decides on the crediting upon application. If the
application is not accepted, reasons must be given in writing.
(2) Competences that have been acquired outside of the universities are to be credited up to half of the intended study achievements.
(3) Achievements and skills according to paragraphs 1 and 2 may only be credited once.
(1) If the candidate attempts to cheat, he or she will be excluded from continuing the examination. The exam
is graded as "failed". The decision on this is made by the examination board. The candidate is to be given the
opportunity to make a statement beforehand.
(2) If a candidate culpably commits a violation of regulations that disturbs other candidates or the examination, he or
she can be excluded from continuing the examination if he or she continues the disruptive behavior despite a
warning. Paragraph 1 sentences 2 to 4 apply accordingly.
(3) If a candidate does not appear for an examination date without good reason, the examination will be assessed as
“failed”.
(4) The decision of the examination board is to be communicated to the candidate in writing without delay, together with information on the
right to appeal, and reasons are to be given. In the case of decisions according to paragraphs 1 and 2, the candidate can request that they be
reviewed by the examination board within 14 days.
(5) The reasons given for withdrawal or absence must be reported to the examination board immediately in
writing and substantiated. If the candidate is ill, the chairperson of the examination board can request that a
medical certificate be submitted. If the examination board accepts the reasons, a new date will be scheduled.
(1) The examination board is authorized to process the personal data listed in these examination regulations to the extent
necessary to fulfill the tasks assigned to it. The transmission is only permitted on the basis of a special legal provision. The
audit committee can keep anonymous business statistics.
(2) Examination documents are kept in examination files. These are created and edited by the examination board or
on its behalf. Written examination papers must be kept for two years. Non-written examination papers, especially
artistic work, can be documented in digital form. The retention period for documentation in digital form is two years.
(3) Within one year after completion of an examination, the candidate shall be granted access to his or her examination file within a
reasonable period of time upon request. The examination board determines the place and time of the inspection in agreement with the
responsible office of the Berlin University of the Arts.
A record must be kept of all tests. The minutes must contain the beginning and end, the names of the examiners
and the names of the candidates, the subjects of the examination, the evaluations, the result of the vote in the case
of committee decisions and, in the event of non-passing, a reason for this. The minutes are to be signed by the
chairperson of the examination committee.
(1) These regulations come into effect on the day after their publication in the Berlin University of the Arts gazette.

(3) Students who are already enrolled when the new examination regulations come into force can choose within the first semester after they come into
force whether they want to complete their studies according to these examination regulations or the regulations of January 21, 2009. The decision must
be communicated to the examination office in writing and cannot be revised.

Contents and qualification goals: The General Studies comprises a total of 10 CP.
Content classification:A minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 CP must be completed in the cultural studies courses
offered in the General Studies. In intercultural mentoring, foreign students can acquire 4 credits, which count as a
performance in cultural studies as part of the Studium Generale. Attending an introductory cultural studies lecture is

The Studium Generale imparts a cultural-scientific orientation:In cultural studies, the Studium Generale enables
students to participate in an overarching socio-cultural discourse and to get involved in "culture as a whole way of
life" (Reynold Williams). The examination of cultural-scientific theories and methods takes place in such a way that
implementation in artistic practice is promoted.
The Studium Generale conveys interdisciplinary & artistic orientation:In the interdisciplinary artistic practice
and theory, the students get to know other art-related patterns of thought and action theoretically and practically
- as a basis for artistic cooperation. At the center of competence development are collective artistic processes, the
courage for experimental work - and the theoretical, scientific reflection and practical interpretation of such
experiences. Interdisciplinary project work is (also) practiced as guided identity work so that the students learn to
consciously position themselves in the diversifying world of the arts.
The Studium Generale provides intercultural orientation:In intercultural mentoring, students with insufficient knowledge of
German are encouraged to effectively master their linguistic, social and institutional integration at the university from the very
beginning of their studies. In the optional intercultural mentoring, students who do not speak German will enter into an
intercultural dialogue with each other and with German fellow students under the guidance of student mentors. By jointly
exploring the cultural environment in Berlin, which is characterized by diversity, and reflecting on it, they build up intercultural
competence. Achievements by participating foreign students in intercultural mentoring are recognized as achievements in
cultural studies as part of the Studium Generale.

must contain shares from the three main subjects of dance, singing and acting. Based on the student's own work and taking into
account the achievements made in the main study up to that point, the examination board grades the respective performance in the
four subjects dance, singing, acting and integral work. The overall grade results from these grades in accordance with Section 12 in
conjunction with Section 11. If the individual work is assessed as “failed”, the final examination can be repeated once, usually in the

Rectors as well as agreements within the framework of university cooperation and partnerships must be observed for the crediting of
achievements at foreign universities. In addition, if there are doubts about comparability, the Central Office for Foreign Education can be
