Interior Design - Associate Degree - Zwolle

Upload your work

For the first selection round, you will need to submit a questionnaire, your portfolio, one or more home assignments and a motivation letter digitally. Based on these, we will decide whether to invite you to the admission day.  

What our lecturers look for:  

  • Your creative ability: Can you translate ideas into images? Do you have a good sense of colour, form and material? Does your work show originality?
  • Your motivation and communication: What drives you? What inspires you? Can you express and explain this clearly?
  • Your way of thinking and doing research: Are you curious? Do you dare to experiment? Can you evaluate your own work critically?  

Portfolio tips

  • Show three-dimensional work, such as furniture, clothing or other objects – not only drawings or paintings.
  • Include personal work made on your own initiative, such as sketches or drawings created outside school. This kind of work is especially valued.  
  • Practise observational drawing. In this programme, you will work a lot with hand-drawn sketches. So, in preparation for admission, draw a spatial observation in your sketchbook every day.
  • Curate and present clearly: make a well-considered selection and present your work in a clear, organised way.

You can get early feedback during our open days, where lecturers and students can review your portfolio and give you tips.
