Academy of Fine Arts, Munich

Approximately 800 students are currently enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich (AdBK). Each student is assigned to a class of his/her choice, selected during the admission process. The academy includes a total of 26 classes.

Training at the academy focuses primarily on the development and practice of artistic skills and abilities in the fine arts. It also includes undergraduate programs in art education and interior design as well as advanced degree programs in visual design and therapy, or in architecture.

Students with exceptional artistic achievements will receive a Diploma as a special recognition from the Academy at the end of their studies (Minimal study time consists of six semesters in one of the specialties offered).
