Conditions of admission
Integration during the course is possible through equivalence committees. It is open to all candidates who can provide proof of 60 ECTS credits for entry into the 2nd year or 120 ECTS credits for entry into the 3rd year, preferably in the arts. Eligible candidates must submit a portfolio of their work, a cover letter and proof of their ECTS credits to the equivalence committee. A 10-minute interview will be held with two members of the jury. It will focus on each candidate’s motivations and the projects presented in their artistic portfolio.
The levels of integration during the course are governed by the recommendations of the Ministry of Culture.
