Committee will take into consideration applicant’s results from the completed master study programme (weighted GPA), but much more important for the committee will be the range, quality, and results of applicant’s artistic or scholarly publishing activity, and the activity in their field of interest (e.g. at student art works’ exhibitions, or results in student scientific and scholarly work, etc.).
Each admission committee member awards points for the portfolio and the discussion with an applicant.

Assessment results and sum of the points are then submitted to the rector of AFAD, and he decides whether the applicant will be accepted to the AFAD study programme or not. Applicant will receive the acceptance decision in accordance with law and AFAD regulations.
