Step 1: Written Application + Creative Assignment

We are eager to learn more about you and your reasons for applying to our program. In addition, we are interested in assessing your creativity, which is why we have included a creative assignment as part of our application process. Our aim is to gain a comprehensive understanding of your qualifications and potential, and we believe that the combination of these elements will help us identify the students who are the best fit for our program. 

Step 2: Application Workshop

After reviewing your written application and creative assignment, we will invite a select group of applicants to participate in a physical application workshop. During this workshop, you will collaborate with other candidates to tackle a creative challenge. Our goal is to observe your ability to work in a team, think critically, and generate innovative ideas.  

Step 3: Interview

During the application workshop you will also participate in an interview with our staff and current students.
This provides us with an opportunity to gain deeper insights into your background, interests, and motivations. By engaging with both staff and current students, you will gain a more comprehensive understanding of our program and the type of people who thrive in our learning community. 

Step 4: Selection

Shortly after the application workshop, we will inform you of our decision regarding your admission to the program. Depending on the outcome, you may receive notice that you have been admitted, placed on our waiting list, or advised to reapply for the following year. Our goal is to provide prompt and transparent communication so that you can make informed decisions regarding your future educational and professional pursuits.
