Welcome to the Berlin Summer University of the Arts 2025!

Get inspired, develop your artistic practice further and make lasting connections in an international and transdisciplinary setting at UdK Berlin. From June to September, we offer a wide range of workshops in all artistic disciplines and beyond. Course registration is open. You can discover all courses here.

With this year’s theme Utopia, the course programme will explore visions and practices for shaping our present and future together. What does an ideal world look like? In times marked by instability and uncertainty, what role can art play in processing experiences, challenging existing boundaries, and carving out alternative spaces? The artistic possibilities in our utopia are endless, and we invite you to become part of it.

Testimonials

"For me, the Summer University was like a portal. There were people from all over the world, all coming together in one room with a lot of energy. Although the quality of the programme is high, it offers a safe enough space to explore and take risks, with great guides, in a great environment."

— Khira Jordan, poet, participated in several of our workshops in 2022.
