Apply for (de)Fine Art

After you register with Studielink, you will receive a confirmation email with login details. When you log in with that, your application for the WdKA will start in your personal online environment. 

For Dual Degree candidates: Make sure you’re also registered with IBACS or EUC when you apply as a Dual Degree candidate at WdKA.  

An important part of the application is the admission exam, which consists of two phases. The first phase is uploading your work. Our teachers will review your portfolio and motivation. If you get positive feedback, you’ll be invited for a matching interview, which is the second phase. In this interview, we talk about your portfolio, your expectations, your ideas, and your ambitions. After that, the final result is determined. This result will be shared with you about 3-4 weeks after the matching interview. Keep in mind that this is just an indication and the actual time may vary.  

For the first phase, you need to upload two items in your personal online environment: 

  1. portfolio
  2. questionnaire about your motivation 

Pay attention to the deadlines for the different application rounds.
