Will you be an innovator in the field of interior architecture?

The Master's Interior Architecture at ArtEZ welcomes motivated applicants with multidisciplinary skills, who are willing to take further the entire field of interior architecture. Students who understand that what worked well in the past is not sufficient for the future – and that this precarious future is too large to confront with existing methods.

To be able to enrol for the programme, you need:
- A Bachelor’s degree, preferably relating to interior architecture (such as Spatial Design or a (TU) Engineering Bachelor and other related Bachelor degrees). Applicants with a Bachelor's degree in another discipline are also invited to apply: the admissions committee will determine the relevance of previous studies and work experience.
- A portfolio, a letter of motivation and a CV (see below).
- Successful completion of the entrance examination (see below).
Language requirements apply to all ArtEZ Master's programmes. You will need to prove your language proficiency by handing in a certificate stating your level of English before 1 September. If you need a residence permit to study at ArtEZ, the delivery deadline is 1 June.

First, you enrol via Studielink. You will be asked to submit the following documents:

Based on your portfolio, CV, letter of motivation and the interview, your chances of successfully completing the study will be assessed.
You will be notified whether you have been admitted within two weeks of the interview. Please note: a positive decision is only valid for the degree course for which you have applied. If you wish to take the entrance examination for a degree course or specialisation at another location, you will need to register for this separately. Your admission is only valid for the academic year directly following the entrance examination.
If you do not agree with a negative decision due to the procedure followed, you can lodge an appeal with the Examination Committee.
