Critical Fashion Practices - Master - Arnhem

Admissions interview

If your application is positively assessed, you will be invited for an admission interview in Arnhem. A team of tutors and students will then explore whether the programme is a good fit for you. If you are not based in the Netherlands, the interview can take place via Zoom.

The interview focuses on:

  • Your ability to reflect on the current state of fashion
  • The relevance of your work within the master’s programme Critical Fashion Practices
  • What you hope to contribute and what you wish to gain
  • The connection between the programme and your personal ambitions

This process helps determine whether you are likely to complete the programme successfully. Each year, there is room for only twelve participants.
