Internationalization is an active part of the Royal Institute of Art´s education. International lecturers and teachers are regularly invited to the school and study trips are an integral part of the studies.

Students at the Master Programme in Fine Arts have the possibility to go on an Erasmus-exchange to one of the partner institutions in Europe.

Through KUNO-Nordplus, the Royal Institute of Art is member of a network of 11 art colleges in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The students can participate in shorter so-called KUNO-courses at the Nordic art colleges, or take part in an exchange for 2 months - 1 academic year.

Besides contacts and exchanges within Europe, the Royal Institute of Art carries out teacher and student exchanges with  University of Tsukuba outside Tokyo, Japan, with Emily Carr University, Vancouver, Canada, and with Instituto Superior de Arte in Havanna, Cuba and Tsinghua University, in Beijing, China within the program Linneaus-Palme.

Teachers and students at the Royal Institute of Art have the possibility to spend a shorter or longer period in the college's studio in Berlin, which is centrally located in the district Mitte.

The Royal Institute of Art only accepts applicants from any of our partner institutions. If you are interested in an exchange and your school doesn´t have an agreement with Royal Institute of Art, you may instead apply to the Guest student programme.
