Admission day

Do you live in the Netherlands or are you able to travel to Arnhem? And is your upload in the application environment complete? Then we will invite you to the admission day. Bring your portfolio with (graphic) work and your home assignments. During the day, you will also receive new assignments to complete on-site in the department. The day lasts approximately six hours and includes an interview with lecturers and students from the admissions committee.

Physical admission (location Graphic Design Arnhem) is scheduled for Thursday, March 5, 2026 (EU and non-EU), full day. 

If you are abroad, you can also take part in an online admission interview. You will receive new assignments by email at least 24 hours in advance. You will discuss the final results during an online interview lasting around 30 minutes.

The online admission interviews will take place on various dates starting from March 2026 (EU and non-EU). 

• Your motivation and general interest in the field of Graphic Design.
• Your portfolio and own work
  Show what you have made. This can include drawings, paintings, photo series, animations, websites, furniture, clothing, posters, poetry, doodles, sketchbooks or mock-ups. Please do not bring only finished projects – also show designs and sketches that give us insight into your creative process. If your work cannot be transported, you can photograph or film it and present it on your laptop or tablet. We will first review everything without you, and then discuss it together with you.
• The result of the home assignments
  During the interview, we will discuss the results of the home assignments that you received from us when you applied.

The admissions committee advises the Exam Board on your admission onto the programme. Within three working weeks after the admission process, you will receive notification of the result.

An offer of admission is only valid for the programme you have applied for. If you wish to audition for another programme or specialisation at a different location, you must apply separately for that. Admission is valid only for the academic year directly following the admission procedure. (Deviations from this are possible only if you submit a request to the Exam Board and the programme gives its approval.)
