Master Assessment FILM BRUSSELS

The Master Assessment consists of several parts. After registration, you will receive a link to the online Master Assessment by email and you must complete the various components before Monday 9 March 2026 (11:00 AM), Wednesday 24 June 2026 (11:00 AM) or Monday 24 August 2026 (11:00 AM) (depending on the chosen period). Afterwards you might receive an invitation for an additional Interview (see dates at bottom).

ATTENTION: the deadline for uploading your online assessment is 11 AM, but last minute and unprepared registration and submission will not work. So make sure to properly read below what is expected and be well prepared before starting the procedure.

PART 1 - ONLINE ASSESSMENT

1. MOTIVATION: write in a motivation letter why you have chosen this program.
2. CURRICULUM VITAE (CV): upload your CV.
3. MASTERPROEF–MASTER PROJECT: the first round of your application consists of your proposal for a master’s film project as well as for a master's thesis (the master project consists of both). Please demonstrate your ability to reflect on your own artistic work and creative practice, and situate yourself in the field of the moving image. Demonstrate your ability to present the core of a project that needs developing during the master’s program. More info about this assignment can be found here.
4. PORTFOLIO (your work): create a portfolio of your recent work. It should serve as proof that you possess the required skills. Illustrate this by means of the following items:
   • completed studies (mention course units, workshops ...);
   • portfolio (graphic work, internships, installations, sketchbooks, festival/museum selection, nominations or awards …);
   • each film included in the portfolio must clearly state the candidate's job description (e.g. director, scenario, DOP, sound …);
   • links to a personal website, blog …

   More info can be found In the document 'Master portfolio requirements'. Still images can be merged into one document (pdf), for moving images include the link to Vimeo, YouTube or any other place (accessible with or without password). In case of a website, also include the web address in a PDF document.

PART 2 - INTERVIEW

The jury will evaluate your dossier. If the jury has any questions, you will be invited for an INTERVIEW.

You will be informed by email a few days in advance whether or not you are invited for an interview based on the artistic dossier (motivation, portfolio, proposal Masterproef - Master Project and CV). The interview takes place on campus or online.

The invitation email contains the exact time (and the link) for the appointment. (You don't have to install Teams on your computer or phone. Via the link you will be able to join the call as a guest without having to install a program on your computer.)

The interview consists of an individual conversation (max. 15 min.) with (atelier) teachers of the program. In this interview the creative competence and potential will be evaluated on the basis of the portfolio and the document 'Masterproef - Master Project'. It is therefore an opportunity to express and defend your motivation and orientation.

PUBLICATION OF THE RESULTS

Within a week after completing the assessment, the candidate will be informed by email whether he/she is allowed to start in the master's program, allowed to progress through a transition or preparatory program, or not admitted to the master's program. In the first two cases, the candidate will also receive the guidelines for final enrolment.

Good luck!
