Once your application via Studielink has been received, you will receive an email containing a link to an online questionnaire. After completing the questionnaire, you will be able to download the Home Assignment. This consists of:
- six mandatory tasks;
- instructions for submitting your portfolio.
You will also receive information about the online or on-site entrance examination date, along with instructions for uploading the Home Assignment and portfolio via OSIRIS. These must be submitted no later than one week before your chosen admission round.
What we look for in your application
- Creativity: We look at your ability to express yourself visually, to work based on observation and concept.
- Motivation: How good are your communication skills? Are you able to share your fascination and inspiration?
- Aesthetics: How do you understand form, colour and material and the individuality expressed by your work.
- Critically: Inquiring and experimental attitude, curiosity and a genuine interest in contemporary art practice.
Portfolio tips
- Show three-dimensional work, such as furniture, clothing or other objects. Do not limit your portfolio to drawings or paintings alone.
- Include work that you have created independently, such as sketches, drawings or experiments you did outside of school. We especially value this kind of work.
- Show not only the final results, but also the process that led to them. How did you develop your idea? What worked and what didn’t?
- Practise observational drawing. During the programme, you will work extensively with hand-drawn sketches. Draw a spatial observation in your sketchbook every day.
- Select your best work and present it clearly and coherently.
- Get early feedback – at our open days, you can have your portfolio reviewed and receive tips from lecturers and students.
