Here we provide comprehensive information regarding the visa requirements for international students wishing to enrol into one of our diploma programs or are interested in participating in one or multiple workshops, masterclasses or intensives from our workshop program.
Depending on your country of residency or nationality you may be required to apply for a short-term visa, which will allow you to stay in Germany for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This visa, known as the Short Stay Schengen Visa, is not only applicable for tourism but also authorizes you to engage in short-term studies in Germany.

If you are a resident of another European country that is a member of the European Union (EU), you are exempt from needing a visa to enter Germany.
