A networking event with guests from the worlds of science, culture, business and politics provided the setting for the university's start to the year on 22 January 2026. Representatives of the Berlin University of the Arts Foundation were among the guests.

With the premiere of Christoph Rüter's documentary film ‘Mein Ehrgeiz geht auf eine bunte Jacke’, the Berlin University of the Arts celebrated its unique UNI.T theatre on 15 November 2025 and gave friends of the foundation access to the stage area and a glimpse behind the scenes.

The Deutschlandstipendium supports talented and high-achieving students. In addition to outstanding academic and professional achievements, social commitment and special personal achievements - such as successfully overcoming hurdles in one's own educational biography - are also taken into account when awarding the scholarship.
