The admission interview focuses on issues related to culture and art and aims to verify the candidate’s knowledge in this field.

After reviewing your portfolio and evaluating your application on a scale of 0–20 points, 20 candidates with the highest scores will be offered a place in the programme. If you score 0–7 points, we will not be able to admit you to the programme.

If you receive a decision on admission you will need to provide the originals of the above documents and:
