This morning has brought a significant change in the advice coming from the German government and the Berlin Senate.

As a result of this advice and for the safety of our own and the wider community we will implement the following:-

1st Year & 2nd Year Students

• All onsite lessons at dBs Berlin are cancelled with effect from Monday 16th March. Cancelled lessons will be rescheduled following our reopening. We plan to restart onsite lessons from Monday 20th April

• The last date of the semester will be extended to 5/6 with hand-in week beginning on the 8/6.

• Bookable time will remain available until Friday 20th March with reduced opening hours of 10:00 - 18:00. We plan to restart normal bookable time from Monday 20th April.

• All film students must return currently booked equipment before Friday 20th March.

• All classes will have a minimum of one weekly online tutorial in order to discuss your work with your advisor and to keep in touch with developments.

• Your programme lead or advisor will be in touch with you next week with more specific details

3rd Year & MA Students

• All onsite lessons at dBs Berlin are cancelled with effect from today. All lessons will take place online at the usual timetable schedule.  

• We plan to restart onsite lessons from Monday 20th April

• The last date of the semester will be 24/4 with the hand-in week beginning on the 27/4. For projects affected by the disruptions an extended deadline will be announced.

These actions are being taken to contain or delay the impact of the spread of the virus in the wider community. We hope you will support us in this endeavour.

If anything changes as a result of new government advice we will be in touch. With questions or updates about your state of health please email covid19.info@dbsberlin.net.
