ASA Network

The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna's participation in the Art School Alliance (ASA) network since 2010 has allowed it to establish a unique international study exchange program for Fine Arts students, offering significant benefits. Here are key details about the program:

• International Study Exchange Program: The ASA network facilitates an international study exchange program that allows students from partner universities around the world to come to Vienna and study at the Academy of Fine Arts for one semester. During their exchange, these international students do not have to pay rent, and they are exempt from tuition fees, making it an attractive opportunity for them to experience education in Vienna.
• Mutual Opportunities: In return for hosting international students, students from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna have the opportunity to apply for study visits to one of the partner universities in the ASA network. This reciprocal arrangement allows Academy students to broaden their horizons and gain international exposure through study experiences at these partner institutions.
• Partner Universities: The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna currently offers study exchanges with seven universities in the ASA network. These institutions are part of the network and collaborate to provide these unique study opportunities.

The ASA program not only enriches students' educational experiences but also fosters global connections and cultural exchange in the field of fine arts. The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna currently offers study exchanges with seven universities in the network:

• Hamburg, Germany: Hochschule für bildende Künste
  
• Hangzhou, China: China Academy of Art
  
• Jerusalem, Israel: Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design
  
• Kumasi, Ghana: College of Art and Built Environment, KNUST
  
• London, UK: Goldsmiths, University of London, Department of Art
  
• New York, USA: Purchase College, School of Art+Design
  
• Paris, France: École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts
  

These strategic partnerships across the globe provide students with opportunities to study in diverse cultural contexts and further develop their artistic skills.
