Application and admission

If you would like to participate in the Interior Architecture preparatory programme, you can read below on how to apply and what documents you need to submit. There is no entrance exam, but we will review your motivation and your portfolio in order to assess whether the programme suits your background and learning objectives. 

When to apply

Registration for 2026 is no longer possible. Applications for 2027 will open on 1 October 2026.

Class dates

The 2026 pre-master’s programme has already started. The course dates for the 2027 pre-master’s programme will be published in early 2027.

What to submit

With your application, please include:

• a short motivation letter explaining why you want to take part and what you would like to research;
• a portfolio with examples of your own work (this can be visual, written, or a combination of both);
• a brief CV outlining relevant study or work experience.

Please note

This programme is intended for people with creative or design-oriented experience. You do not need a specific diploma, but we are looking for participants who show independent working skills, reflective ability, and curiosity about spatial research.

Admissions process

Once we have received your application, the admission team will review your motivation letter and portfolio. If you are admitted, you will receive a confirmation by email.

There is a limited number of places available, and applications will be processed in the order in which they are received.

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