Prepare well

Start a programme at ArtEZ Academy of Art & Design Arnhem

Visit one of our open days to experience the atmosphere at the academy. You can talk to lecturers and students, have your portfolio reviewed, attend information sessions and ask questions. You can also explore the workshops, classrooms and student work.

Get inspired

To prepare well, you can start exploring art and design. Visit exhibitions and browse platforms such as MetropolisM, Kunstbeeld, Frame, DAMn and Dezeen.

Each year you can also visit the academy’s finals exhibition. This usually takes place in June or July and presents work created by fourth-year students for their graduation.

Portfolio

Once your application via Studielink has been received, you will receive information about the date of the entrance exam and instructions for uploading the questionnaire, the home assignment and your portfolio.

Tips for your portfolio

• Visual and written research that shows a research-oriented attitude.
• Ideas and concepts that demonstrate visual experimentation and creative processes.
• Completed (school) projects that show awareness of your audience.  
• Personal work – self-initiated, directed or created during extracurricular activities.
