Porfolio workshop bachelor's programmes
Would you like to apply for a bachelor’s programme at KABK? Your portfolio is an essential part of the admission process. In this workshop, you will gain a clearer understanding of what a portfolio is and how to create one.
The portfolio workshop is especially helpful if you've already started creating your portfolio, but you don't necessarily need to have it finished. For example, you can already start thinking about what you want to show in your portfolio and start gathering the necessary materials. Bring what you have to the workshop, either digitally or in print.
Additionally, some departments will also offer a tour through their department after the workshop. This way, you will get a glimpse of the classrooms, studios and workshops. The workshop and the tour will be held in English.
It is not possible to only join for the tour, and you are expected to attend the entire programme when you book a ticket.
Terms and conditions:
- We kindly ask you to book one ticket for one department on the date you want to attend a tour.
- The tickets are strictly for interested students and not for parents or other companions.
- The tours take place during teaching hours, therefore the groups have a limited number of participants. Parents and other friends will be asked to wait at the reception and will not be admitted to the tour due to limited space.
- In case you won't be able to attend, we kindly ask you to inform us in advance via email: communication@kabk.nl. This way, your place can be made available for someone else.

No, this workshop is in a group setting, and there is no room for one-on-one advice. You can check if the department you're interested in is organising online portfolio advice sessions in 2026. These sessions are for prospective students who have already started preparing for their admission to the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) and want to have advice on their portfolio.
