Admission procedure

What happens after the application?

The admission procedure consists of a pre-selection and the entrance examination.

The admissions committee decides on the basis of the submitted work samples which applicants will be admitted to the entrance examination. The selected applicants receive an invitation to the examination by e-mail.

The entrance examination is expected to take place from Monday 30th March 2026 - Friday 3rd April 2026 (exact dates to be confirmed). The entrance exam consists of several days of practical work in the studio. It will include assignments in dance, choreography and theory in both individual and group working situations

After this initial practical phase, individual interviews will be held on campus. These interviews are an opportunity for you to reflect on your experience of the entrance examination. During the interview the panel may make reference to the work samples admitted with your application and will assess your English language proficiency as part of the admission requirements.

The result will only be communicated to the applicants after the completion of the admissions examination. All applicants will be informed in writing.
