To start with one of the pathways within the Master Program of Fine Art & Design at the end of August 2023, we're organizing one final application round:
You can expect to hear whether you have been selected for an interview in the beginning of June.
The Master Institute of Visual Cultures is part of Avans University of Applied Sciences. During your application process, you will be requested to submit information from the Student Administration Office of Avans Hogeschool as well as from the master's Administration Office.

We will use this application to determine your eligibility for the programme and if positive, you shall then receive an email from masters.akvstjoost@avans.nl with instructions on how to proceed with your application.
