Admission requirements

As part of the admission and selection procedure for the Bachelor ArtScience programme we ask you to demonstrate your artistic talent, intellectual curiosity and affinity with one or more artistic disciplines. You’ll be asked to show examples of earlier work and explain your motivation to study at the ArtScience Interfaculty.

In order to apply, you must first register in Studielink (Dutch national database for admission to higher education) and then gain access to our online application system OSIRIS where you will be asked to submit a link of Dropbox folder with requested documents including a portfolio.

Read first about the general eligibility requirements and the specific requirements of the materials you need to prepare before starting your application.

General requirements

  • High school diploma
    High school diploma comparable to a Dutch VWO, HAVO or MBO 4 diploma.
    You can check the equivalent Dutch level of your diploma on the Nuffic website.

  • Proficiency in both spoken and written English
    Non-EU/EEA candidates are required to provide a certificate as proof of English Language proficiency.
    EU/EEA candidates' English language level will be assessed during their admission interview.

Portfolio requirements

We ask you to prepare a Dropbox folder with all the application materials listed below and share the link with us:

  • Portfolio (max. 20 pages, max. 10 recent important works)
  • Letter of motivation (max. 350 words)
  • Resume (curriculum vitae, max. 1 A4)

We explicitly do not want you to share the Dropbox folder. Instead we ask that you copy and paste the link in the designated field in our application system Osiris.

You can find detailed information on what the requested materials need to contain on the ArtScience Interfaculty website.

Application/portfolio deadline & admission dates

The application deadline for study year 2025 – 2026 was 1 March, but you can still apply until 1 May.

We will first process all applications submitted before the 1 March deadline. We expect plenty of spots to be available, so feel free to apply until 1 May. Because we do understand that the shift of the deadline from 1 May to 1 March was not known to everybody.
