Admission
After submitting your application in Studielink, you will receive login details that allow you to register and complete a questionnaire. Once you have completed the questionnaire, you will receive more information about the home assignment by email. You will receive your invitation approximately two and a half weeks before the admission days.
On this day you are invited for an interview on the academy with an admission committee of two teachers and two students. (not online!)
This interview consists of:
- A conversation about motivation and general interest.
- Assessment of the home assignment. You have received this assignment after registering in Studielink. You complete it at home and bring it with you to the entrance exam.
- Assessment of your portfolio. This does should mainly contain sketches, process and designs that gives the committee insight in how you think and create. You must bring these materials with you in physical form.
If you pass the admissions round on the first day, you will be invited to participate in the practical part of the exam the following day from 09:30 until 16:30.
You will complete a design assignment on site, within a set timeframe.
After the admission days, you will find out within two weeks whether you have passed the artistic admission process. We will then check whether all your diplomas and documents meet the requirements before you can be officially admitted.
