2. Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart
1. The ABK Stuttgart reserves the right to assess students’ suitability for the specific study area/professor by means of portfolio submissions and a selection process. This is essential to the individual allocation of students to a professor/class, where student places are specifically delegated in regards to individual students’ requirements and the specific study area, which is best seen in the portfolio material submitted. In some rare cases there may be difficulties in finding a place for the student due to the nature of his/her portfolio submission and the high demand for places in individual classes, this can cause delays in the student selection process.
2. Students with Disabilites: For revelant information please contact our Disability Representative Ms. Rita Afani rita.afani@abk-stuttgart.de
