Results are listed alphabetically. There is no price ranking: prices in different currencies and bases (per class, per term, per year) are not comparable. Children’s and teen classes appear only when you choose a youth audience or open Children & Teens. Online programs are never counted as physically located in a state or city. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change recognition status, verification or order.
About actor training in Germany
How actor training is organised
Acting is taught mainly at state drama universities and schools, which select applicants by multi-stage entrance examinations rather than by school grades. The Ernst Busch university in Berlin runs a four-year Diplom programme, Folkwang offers an eight-semester Artist Diploma (300 ECTS), and Munich's Otto Falckenberg Schule runs a four-year training with no tuition or admission fees.

Qualification structures
Names and levels are local to Germany. Similar names in other countries are not interchangeable.
Languages and auditions
Teaching languages. Teaching is in German; non-German applicants need adequate German (Folkwang names CEFR B2).
Admissions and auditions. Application windows close months before the start (HfS Berlin: 21 May to 6 August 2026 for summer semester 2027; Folkwang: 15 November for the following summer semester), followed by preselection and entrance examinations with role excerpts and a song. Source
