Admission to the MFA requires a minimum of a bachelor's degree in arts or fine arts. Applicants for the International Master in Fine Art are selected on the base of their artistic practice. It is therefore required to apply with documentation demonstrating artistic qualification. 

Students on a master level are expected to have already acquired a sense for their preferred working method and an interest in creating connections between different fields of research. A proposal for a research project is therefore also required as additional material for documenting artistic qualification. See the Required documentation chapter for additional information about the proposal.
