Aptitude test:We will decide whether you can be admitted to the programme in the course of a two-part application process. This process will also give you a first impression of the subject of architecture, enabling you to perhaps reconsider your study choice. The first part of the application process involves testing your artistic/creative aptitude. All students must pass this test before being admitted to the second part of the application process. To demonstrate your artistic/creative aptitude, you must prepare a portfolio containing 15 samples of your work, five of which should address a specific topic. If you pass the artistic/creative aptitude test, we will invite you for an interview. During the interview, you and two professors will reflect on your decision to study architecture. Term of application terminates 15.04.2024. |
Enrolment | The closing date for applications to take the aptitude test for the winter semester is 15 April. Please apply online (see above for the link). Only those who pass the aptitude test can enrol at Münster University of Applied Sciences; this must be done online by 15 August. |
