- Your ability to communicate. How strong are your communication skills, to what extent are you able to share and discuss your fascination and inspiration? How do you critically view your own activities and how do you analyse them?
- Your ability to reflect critically on images. Here we will be looking for an inquiring and experimental attitude, interest in art and culture, a focused interest in the discipline and your ability to compare and analyse images.
The entrance exam consists of:
- Working on visual assignments during the exam day;
