Catalyst – Institute for Creative Arts and Technology is an international learning community, based at the iconic Funkhaus in the creative media metropolis of Berlin.
Our courses span electronic music production and performance, audio production, sound engineering, sound for visual media, filmmaking, screenwriting, visual effects and acting. They range from summer short courses to bachelor's and master's degrees, validated by our UK partner Plymouth Marjon University.
Our students learn in English as part of a community of over 75 nationalities. Based on project-based learning and collaboration, and guided by expert tutors, our progressive education model empowers students to learn through “doing” and discover their unique creative identity.
Our industry-standard campus facilities provide a technological playground, including over 30 recording studios and production suites, a film studio with green screen, a cinema, a theatre, multiple IT worksuites and several tons of audiovisual equipment.
