Student Exchange
The School of Visual Theater maintains significant partnerships with the international art field. The school holds student exchange agreements with leading educational institutions in art, dance, and theater worldwide. Over the years, the school has hosted artists such as Claudia Castellucci, Winter Family, Pablo Gisbert (El Conde de Torrefiel), Markus Ohrn, Gob Squad, Livia Andrea Piazza, Lotte Van Der Berg, Silvia Bottiroli, Rimini Protokoll, Stefan Kaegi, Sodja lotker and others.
As part of this approach, the school hosts a number of students from art schools abroad each year and allows SVT students to travel abroad to study the first semester of their fourth year of studies.
SVT students may submit a request to study at one of the institutions with which the school has a student exchange agreement, for one semester. The institutions and schools are listed below. Approval of the request is subject to the decision of the School of Visual Theater’s Teaching Committee.

The School of Visual Theater accepts exchange students from various schools and institutions, with which the school holds bilateral exchange agreements.
Exchange students may apply for the first semester (October-February). All applications due by April 10th, 2024. Applicants will be notified by the beginning of May.
Before applying, please note:
* Although SVT accepts exchange students only for the 1st semester (October-February), students who wish to continue studying for the whole year can do so as regular students (the cost is half of the yearly tuition.)
* Although most classes are delivered in Hebrew, both teachers and students communicate in English. Thus, a sufficient level of English is required.
* List of courses taught in English will be provided by the office at registration.
If your home institution does not have an agreement with the SVT, please ask your international office to contact us at: main@visualtheater.co.il
