The Baden-Württemberg STIPENDIUM
Exchange and collaboration with other international colleges is an essential aspect and a crucial objective of the studies at the Akademie für Darstellende Kunst in Baden-Württemberg. ADK’s participation in the programme Baden-Württemberg STIPENDIUM for University Students, run by the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung, recognises ADK’s open, international approach.
With a view to encouraging international exchange among especially qualified students, the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung awards two to three scholarships in every academic year to domestic and foreign students as part of a student exchange (incomings / outgoings) between the Akademie für Darstellende Kunst and our partner institutions abroad. The scholarship is paid for three to six months. Selection criteria include not only academic achievement but also social and intercultural skills.
Students interested in applying should contact the International Office claudia.valet@adk-bw.de
An Open Call with details is listed hereafter.

ERASMUS Outgoings
Cooperation with the ERASMUS-Consortium KOOR/BEST
The Coordination Office for the Practical Semesters (KOOR) is a state-wide institution for the universities in Baden-Württemberg, located at the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences. To implement the mobility programmes within the European Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP), the ERASMUS consortium “Baden-Württemberg Partnership for the Exchange of Students, Graduates and Knowledge Transfer” (BEST) was established to complement KOOR.
KOOR/BEST runs the Erasmus+ Internship Programme for 41 universities in Baden-Württemberg. These programmes can support students or graduates who spend practical semesters and internships in the participating countries in other European countries.
Under the umbrella of the EU education programme ERASMUS+ four mobility measures are funded for outgoing students, lecturers and staff of the ADK:
Mobility for Students (SMS)
Auslandspraktikum für Studierende (SMP)
Mobility for Lecturers (STA) and Mobility for Staff (STT)
The study abroad programme (SMS) within the framework of Erasmus+ is aimed at students who wish to spend one or two semesters at a host university in another European country and thereby improve their social and cultural skills. In this way, the European Union supports the mobility of students, who thereby become familiar with teaching and learning methods at a foreign university. The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is the national agency responsible for implementing the programme in Germany.
As student of the ADK you are interested in an placement/internship grant (SMP)? The Erasmus+ programme is aimed at students and graduates who are doing an internship in another European country.
Erasmus supports visiting professorships at European partner universities (STA) which hold an Erasmus University Charter. Through their stay, the guest lecturers should strengthen the European dimension of the host university, complement its range of courses and impart their expertise to students who cannot or do not wish to study abroad. The development of joint study programmes of the two partner universities and the exchange of teaching content and methods should be included.
As a further supporting measure for the internationalisation of universities, further education and training (STT) of university staff (teaching and administration) at European universities and foreign companies/institutions is possible.

ERASMUS Incomings
Our membership in international networks and partnerships like E:UTSA (Europe: Union of Theatre Schools and Academies) and mitos21 (a European Theatre Network bringing together artists & theatre professionals collaborating professionals & institutions strengthening between theatre & society) help to foster an international environment and can offer interesting collaborative possibilities for international exchanges.
The Erasmus+ programme gives international students and staff from our partner universities the opportunity to participate in a university exchange for up to two semesters at the ADK in Ludwigsburg. Exchange activities require prior preparations such as Inter-institutional agreements (Erasmus+ contract) issued by the ADK and another institution with university status.
