Master Assessment FINE ARTS 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: prepare a proposal for a master’s thesis. Demonstrate your ability to reflect on your own work/practice and the role of the artist in the art field. Demonstrate your ability to present a potential concept that may be developed further during the master’s program. More info about this assignment can be found here. The document ‘Masterproef - Master Project’ should include approximately 3 elaborate images that give the assessment committee a good impression, both visually and in terms of content, of the candidate’s concept.
4. PORTFOLIO (your work): create a portfolio of your recent artistic work. It should serve as proof that you possess the required skills. The most recent work in the portfolio should not be older than one year. The oldest work should not be older than five years. More info can be found In the document 'Master portfolio requirements'. 

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 unless the candidate is unable to come to Brussels in person, in that case the interview will take place online (via Teams).

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 (studio) 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!
