A jury will interview each candidate.
Interests, motivation, general and cultural knowledge, thinking skills, creative attitudes and understanding of imaging are probed.
The prepared work is discussed and the candidate is given a chance to explain it.

On the last day of the session, students receive the result of their admission test by mail. Students who did not pass will receive a short, orientation feedback session on the test on the same day. This will take a maximum of about five minutes. This is not a teaching moment and serves only to frame the result and advise the student on further options. After this session, feedback on the test is not possible.
