When this procedure has been completed, a conditional acceptance letter will be issued and sent to the candidate. The Eventbrite fee is non-refundable, but will be deducted from the tuition fee at the time the candidate comes to enroll for our professional bachelor programme.

Applications will not be processed until confirmation of the Eventbrite fee payment.

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.
