Information and consultation for international students
Support is the key to integration! With more than 30% international students, Folkwang University of the Arts unites the various branches and disciplines of the arts under one roof and at the same time makes connections between very different countries. That’s why internationalisation of the studying, research and teaching enterprises is a central concern at Folkwang University of the Arts.
