Admissions
You can apply for participation in the selection procedure of the Orientation Course 2023-2024 by filling out the application form .
Applicants will be invited for a face-to-face interview at our academy in Amsterdam. The interview days are on:
- Saturday, 3 June 2023 (application for this round is closed), and;
- Wednesday, 7 June 2023. EXTENDED DEADLINE for application = 1 June 023.
PAY ATTENTION: O-Course students are not eligible for Dutch study finance (Studiefinanciering), and attending the O-Course does not give you the right to apply for a Dutch residence permit. So, non-EU/EEA applicants can only be admitted to the O-Course if they already have a Dutch residence permit that is valid for the whole course period! You cannot apply for student visa on the basis of being admitted to this course!
Admission interview
The Orientation Course (on Saturday) is preceded by a selection round, for which you present a selection of your visual work, and the outcome of the home assigment during an interview with a course teacher. Next to the work, your motivation is crucial. The work you show may consist of, for example, sketches, doodles, photos, videos or three-dimensional work - in short, enough information on your visual capacities (at least 10 and no more than 30 pieces).
