Based on your submitted documents and motivation video, you may or may not be invited for an interview with a committee consisting of artistic director, teacher/coach, student/alumn. In this interview, you will be asked to explain your motivation and expectations.

After the interview with the committee, you will receive a written explanation of the decision to accept or reject you. 

To be admitted to the programme, candidates should have:  

• a completed mbo or hbo degree in the arts, a university degree in arts and culture,  
• at least two years' work experience in producing art or in a related position (e.g. curator, artist, marketing or public relations worker, etcetera).  

It is also possible to be admitted without prior education on the basis of sufficient and relevant work experience in the arts field

Condition is that the student can follow (Dutch-language) education well and is able to absorb (English-language) texts.

For all candidates, experience, ambition and learning ability are considered in relation to the mission and vision of the programme

When composing a year group, we look at diversity in experience, knowledge, perspective and expertise to arrive at a group that is as pluralistic as possible.  

You can find all information regarding tuition fees on the webpage of AHK Student affairs.

At the Academy of Theatre and Dance, we believe it is important that the admissions procedure is conducted in a socially safe manner. We therefore do not accept expressions of discrimination, racism, sexism and violence.

If you have (had) an unsafe feeling during the audition process, you can let us know via our social safety reporting point: meldpunt@ahk.nl. Your message will be handled carefully.
