Admission

After registering via Studielink, you will receive an email with instructions explaining how the admission process works.

The admission process is a way for us to get to know you and see whether you are a good fit for the programme. At the same time, it is also an opportunity for you to discover whether this programme is what you are looking for.

On this page you can read what the admission process involves and what you need to submit.

What we look for in your application

During the admission process, we are curious about who you are and how you work. We are not only interested in the final result, but also in how you got there. What was the starting point for your idea? What worked, what did not? Show us your process and take us into your way of thinking.

What our lecturers are looking for:

• Your creative ability: We look at how well you can express your ideas and feelings with images. Can you make something from what you see or from an idea? We will also assess your sense of colour, form and materials. And we will look at whether your work has its own style or character.
• Your motivation and communication: Can you explain clearly what inspires you and what you find interesting? Can you talk about this with others? We will also look at whether you can reflect clearly on your own work: what went well and what could be improved?
• Your way of exploring and reflecting: We will assess whether you are curious and like trying things out. Are you interested in art and culture? Can you compare images effectively and say or explain something about them? 

The first round

For the first round of admissions, you will submit a questionnaire, your portfolio, two home assignments, and a motivation letter digitally. Based on these materials, we decide whether you will be invited to the admission day.

• Your portfolio is a selection of work you have created. For tips on preparing your portfolio, see Prepare well.
• The home assignments are creative tasks. For example, you may be asked to make a drawing from observation, create an anatomy study, produce a short animation on a given topic, or make a piece of 3D work based on a theme.
• In your motivation letter, you tell us more about who you are, what you can do, your development, and your motivation for choosing this programme.

The second round

• You will work on two assignments.
• You will talk with lecturers and students to get to know each other. During this conversation, you will discuss your portfolio, your motivation, your home assignments, your inspiration and your creative process.
