Admission requirements
You can only start a teacher training course in the winter semester. In addition to the general higher education entrance qualification or a relevant subject-specific higher education entrance qualification, you will need to pass the artistic entrance examination to study art as a teacher.
You can find detailed information on the teacher training course - for example on the range of subjects, subject combinations, application and enrolment requirements and admission restrictions - in the range of courses offered by the University of Kassel.
Artistic entrance examination
Registration for the entrance examination initially takes place without a portfolio. The application deadline is April 30 (date of postmark). All applicants who have registered by the deadline will receive an invitation to the entrance examination.
The examination takes place on site at the Kunsthochschule (colonnade) and lasts approximately four hours. During this time, you will work on a practical artistic theme. You must bring your own materials to work with.
The portfolio is brought to the examination day and is the subject of an interview with the examination board, which takes place as part of the entrance examination.
The portfolio to be submitted comprises around 20 recent works that demonstrate a personal and focused artistic approach. Format, working methods, themes, techniques and media are freely selectable.
A possible schedule for the entrance examination can be found here.
Information on the portfolio consultation services can be found here.
