Discover the degree courses
For those of you contemplating whether an art course is right for you, our Preparatory Programme will definitely help you make up your mind. You'll get to know everything there is about the academy, our degree courses and lecturers while learning and working on assignments and soaking up the atmosphere.
The programme focuses on your creative process as well as on the content of the various bachelor courses in the field of visual arts and design: BEAR Fine Art, Fashion Design, Product Design, Graphic Design, Design Art & Technology, and Fine Art & Design in Education.

A visit to the ArtEZ Open Day is scheduled to take place in autumn.
Applying for admission to a course
On the last Saturday, all heads of the bachelor's courses are invited, allowing you — if you wish — to complete your admission process on the same day with the portfolio you’ve built over the past months. You’ll find out that same day whether you’ve been accepted.
Preparatory Programme as profile assignment
Are you still in secondary school? If your school approves, you can do follow the Preparatory Programme as part of your profile assignment. This means that the assignments you make during the programme at the academy can be presented as a profile assignment for assessment by your own school.
‘I would recommend the Preparatory Programme to anyone. It's a great challenge. Besides focusing on visual research and experiments, you also learn to deal with feedback and reflect on your work.’
