Dear applicants from Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee, once again payment of the subsidies is delayed due to us waiting for information from other departments, without which we can’t proceed. Once we have received all the data we need, we will send out the notifications and start the payment process asap, but this might still take a few weeks. We’re very sorry and appreciate your patience!

Dear applicants, we increasingly receive applications after the application period and grace period are over. Please note:

The regular application period runs until 31.7. for the following winter semester, 28./29.2. for the following summer semester. This is the period within which you should generally submit your applications.

There is a 14-day grace period, i.e. until 14.8. for WiSe and 14.3. for SoSe you may still submit your applications without giving a reason for being late. This should be an exception for times when you can’t submit the application within the normal period.

Applications that we receive from 15.8./15.3. can only be accepted if you give a reason for why it wasn’t possible to submit them on time (this does not include simply forgetting about the dates!)

Late applications make it harder for us to plan, cause extra work, and therefore delay processing all applications. So please make sure to submit your applications in time and if you’re late, include a reason with your application.

Dear applicants, due to technical issues the payment of the SoSe 22 subsidies for HU will be delayed. We were expecting them to be paid out this week, now it will likely be another 1-2 weeks. We apologise, and appreciate your patience!

This Wednesday, the 13th of July, we won’t be able to offer phone counselling, because we’ll be busy with the notifications for your summer semester applications.

(This also means that you’ll soon have those notifications in your mailbox.
In case your bank account has changed since your application, please tell us the new details so any granted subsidies may find their way to your account. :))

Dear applicants,

we expect to send the notifications about your summer semester 2022 applications around mid July, and the corresponding payouts probably around end of July.
In case your bank account has changed since your applications, please tell us the new information soon, so the granted subsidies will be transferred to your new account.
We estimate that the granted subsidies will be transferred around end of July until mid August.

But those are preliminary estimations!
As soon as we send out the notifications and payouts, we’ll let you now in an update here.
Please for now refrain from inquiries about the the state of the applications, notifications or payouts.

In case you can’t pay the next re-enrollment fee without the subsidy, you can contact the enrollment office and ask for an extension the the deadline.

Due to illness, we can unfortunately not offer phone councelling on Friday, the 24th of June.
You can however still contact us via email or during the phone councelling time on Wednesday.

Dear applicants, the application forms for winter semester 2022/23 are finally online – you can find them here. Please make sure to send them in by 31. July (plus 14 days grace period).

We finally finished processing the applications for WiSe 21/22 from KHB students and will send out the notifications early next week. The payments still need to go through several departments, but we expect them to be in your accounts by the end of the month at the latest.

Subsidies for summer semester might still be a little behind our usual schedule, but we should have caught up after that.

Dear applicants, here are a few infos regarding the current state of your applications:

Payments WiSe 21/22

We sent the subsidies for WiSe 21/22 to the Kasse this week, so if nothing goes wrong you should receive the money around next week. If you applied after the regular application period (e.g. due to being newly matriculated), your application will be processed and the subsidy paid out in the coming weeks.

Delayed responses to e-mails

Due to receiving a lot of e-mails and post at the end of the application period, combined with a staff shortage, we are currently very behind on answering e-mails and hard to reach via phone. Please refrain from any non-essential questions (e.g. whether we received your application) for the next 1-2 weeks, in order to give us a chance to check all the mails that are already there and enter all applications into our database. Thank you!

State of WiSe 21/22 applications for KHB

The subsidies for SoSe 21 should have been paid by now. Since that took so much longer than it should have, and we are currently short on staff, the payments for WiSe 21/22 will also be delayed a little, but we’re working on it and hope to send out the notifications by the end of April. Hopefully from next semester on we’ll then be able to get back to our usual rhythm. Thank you for your patience!

We did it, the notifications for winter semester 21/22 applications at HU will be sent out this week!
You should receive them until the end of the week (or possible next week, in case the mailservice takes a little longer). Please watch out for your mail and inform us in case you bank details have changed since your application!

Important note:
There was a technical problem while printing the notifications, so that some of them state that the subsidies would probably be payed out in August 2021. While we are good, unfortunately we still haven’t figured out time traveling yet. Sorry about that.
The payout of the subsidies for winter semester 2021/22 will probably be in March 2022!

(We’ll post another update once the payout is done.
Please refrain from inquiries about the status of the payout until then!)
