Codarts is an international college, firmly rooted in the Rotterdam community and providing high-quality art education in the domains of music, dance and circus.

Diversity, interdisciplinarity and sustainability are in the DNA of Codarts. We form part of national and international networks, and our participation in the innovative education and research programme Rotterdam Arts & Sciences Lab, a partnership between Erasmus University Rotterdam, Willem de Kooning Academy/Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and Codarts, is a prime example.

Talents in music, dance and circus from all continents come to Codarts to realise their ultimate dream; becoming a professional artist in the discipline that is their great passion.

The college attaches great importance to a healthy learning climate, so a great deal of attention is given to the physical and mental health and personal development of the students.

Make it Happen


Codarts is the link between talent and the international arena. Because it’s all about connections; between artist and colleague, between artist and public, between artist and society, and between Rotterdam and the world.

Codarts has over 1,000 students with 65 nationalities and a human capital of approximately 420.
