Admission test

Succeeding as a creative professional doesn't happen just like that. It requires talent and determination. We assess this during the entrance exams for all our academic, educational, or professional bachelor's degree programmes.

Depending on the specialisation that appeals to you most, the content of the entrance exam varies. However, we always assess your creativity, curiosity, artistic sensibility, cultural knowledge, motivation, and enthusiasm.

Those who manage to convince the panel of lecturers and creators have the best chance of feeling at home in our school and developing further as an artistic creator.

You can register for the entrance exams from 22 March 2025.
The interviews and exams will take place in June and/or August.
