About HBK
Saarbrücken University of Fine Arts (HBK) — public non-profit institution. It is located in Saarbruecken, Germany. The higher education institution was founded not so long ago — in 1989 — which is why it is considered one of the youngest in the country.
HBK conducts research in many fields of study. For more information, visit the official site.
The academic calendar at HBK is divided into two semesters, as in many other universities in Germany. For convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. Education at HBK is free for everyone. However, students must pay a semester fee — 1,000 USD per year. Check the university website for up-to-date information on prices and scholarships.
When choosing an educational institution, it is important to be aware of additional costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses.

Bachelor degree at HBK
Schooling in Germany lasts longer than in other countries. Therefore, it is impossible to enter a university immediately after the 11th grade — first, you need to eliminate the academic difference. There are special educational institutions for foreign students — Studienkollegs. Enrollment in a bachelor's program at HBK is based on the results of entrance exams.
The campus of HBK is urban. This means that students study closely to the sights and the entire recreational infrastructure of the city. This type of campus gives students more options for internships and part-time jobs.
The school has a library where students can do their homework or just relax. The university provides students with many opportunities to play sports and maintain their own physical fitness. For this, the university has sports grounds and clubs. HBK regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs. For locals, this is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the cultures of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
