Practical matters

Participation costs in the Art & Design preparatory programme are € 875,-. You must pay this amount prior to the start of your programme. In terms of material costs, you are responsible for providing your own drawing materials, dummy, drawing folder and paint. Paper and clay used in class time are included.

 

You are also obliged to cover the costs of the excursion, such as entrance fees and transport.

We place high importance on ensuring everyone has the opportunity to prepare themselves well for an arts education. That is why ArtEZ offers scholarships to those who would like to follow preparatory programmes but are unable to do so due to financial circumstances.


If you would like to apply for a scholarship, please send an email to a.geurink@artez.nl. We will invite you for a short interview to discuss your motivation and situation, where we will assess whether you are eligible. Scholarship applications are processed in the order that they are received, so be sure to send in your request promptly.

The ArtEZ programme terms & conditions apply to all preparatory programmes and contract education.
