document authentication

KASK & Conservatorium only accepts true and authentic diploma documents to avoid document fraude. Therefore, depending on the country your diploma and transcripts were issued, you will need either a certification stamp, an apostille stamp or a legalisation stamp. Without having submitted a physical copy containing the original of this stamp, we cannot issue a formal invitation to enroll or enroll you.

To put things clear: you do not need this stamp on your documents to apply and do an interview/audition, but you will need to submit it before you enroll or wish to receive an invitation to enroll. Obtaining these authentications can take up quite a bit of time, so take care of this as soon as you can.

If you passed an orientation test, you may still need to submit physical documents to the admissions officer. Depending on the country where the documents were issued, those documents must have certain stamps. Only on the basis of these authenticated documents can we issue a formal invitation to enrol.

You are required to upload your diploma and transcripts in original language. However, we can only read Dutch, French, English and German documents. If your diploma in original language is not issued in of these 4 languages, you will also be required to upload an official translation into one of these 4 languages (English is preferred) by a sworn translator.

motivation letter and curriculum vitae

This document contains maximum 1500 words. You explain what your motivation is for entering the postgraduate programme in curatorial studies and describe how your own experiences and ideas are connected to this. You’ll need to allude to what your current background is (studies, professional occupation …) and how these can possibly be an added value to your choice. In your motivation you may use theoretical references and references from the practical (arts) field.

curriculum vitae

Your curriculum contains at least a detailed overview of your studies, the title of your master thesis (if applicable) and possible additional education programmes or schooling you followed. If applicable, please also mention relevant professional experience.

proposal curatorial project

In the postgraduate programme for Curatorial Studies, the student’s interests and ideas are the starting point. The programme also offers room for the conception and elaboration of the student’s own curatorial projects. It is therefore important that the candidate submit a relatively detailed curatorial project proposal, between 1500 and 2000 words in length, containing the following items:

A working title
A clear hypothesis
Explain how you would like to elaborate on the hypothesis in a practical, technical and theoretical way and state what possible problems might arise in carrying out this project.
Give a detailed statement of your personal interest towards this hypothesis and if possible state your ambitions towards this project and/or your long term ambitions with the education programme itself.
