Application for the aptitude test in the degree programme Fine Art

Attention: Due to the current situation surrounding the spread of the Coronavirus, we kindly ask you to apply digitally for the aptitude tests in the degree programme Fine Art. It is currently unsure whether personal selection interviews can take place. You may receive an invitation to a video conference. We will inform you in good time about the further procedure.

In exceptional cases, you can still apply by analogue means. For clarification, please contact the secretariat of the degree programme Silke Partschefeld by e-mail (silke.partschefeld[at]uni-weimar.de).


There are three steps to passing the aptitude test:

  • the upload of your digital application via the university's application portal  consisting of your digital portfolio, a signed Plagiarism Statement declaring that the work submitted was created by you, an informal letter of motivation stating your chosen field of study, your curriculum vitae, as well as proof of your school-leaving qualification or vocational training
  • pre-selection by reviewing the submitted digital portfolio
  • the aptitude interview and review of your original artistic portfolio.

Language requirements:
Please submit a current proof of language proficiency with your application documents, which shows that you will reach the required language level by the time of your matriculation at the latest.
Lessons are taught in German. You must provide proof of German language proficiency. Prerequisite for International Students are German language skills at the level C 1 (DSH-2 or TestDAF TDN 4).
If you have any questions relating to certification, please contact Frau Johanna Theuerkauf at the Office of Student and Academic Affairs: johanna.theuerkauf[at]uni-weimar.de 

Application deadline:
The digital application can be uploaded until 31 March of the year.  

The examination committee of the degree programme makes a preliminary selection after reviewing the submitted work samples.
 
Those who are shortlisted will be invited to the further aptitude test. If the interviews can be held in person, please bring the original works from your digital application.

» to the university's application portal


In order to answer your questions as best as possible, we have compiled a FAQ list for you below:

How and by when can I submit my portfolio?

Digital portfolio submission is possible via the application portal.

Application deadline:
The digital application can be uploaded until 31 March of the year.

What should my digital application look like and what should it contain?

In the field of Fine Art, your digital portfolio should contain about 20 samples of your artistic work. The works must have been made by you. The portfolio should consist of artistic works (paintings, drawings, objects, photographs, etc.) that reveal individual interests and working methods and show interest in the chosen field of study.

  • We recommend that you scan the work from your portfolio or simply take a photo with your mobile phone.
  • Sketchbooks can be submitted digitally and count as one piece of work. Your sketchbooks are best represented by a short video in which you flip through your sketchbooks. This video(s) should not exceed 2 minutes in length. They can be provided in the form of links in the document within the digital application.
  • Create ONE PDF file from your photographed or scanned work with a maximum size of 20 MB.
  • IPlease upload your curriculum vitae, your school and professional qualifications as well as a letter of motivation as separate files.
  • International applicants should also submit a current proof of language proficiency with their application, which shows that they will reach the required language level by the time of enrolment at the latest. German language skills at level C1 (DSH 2 or TestDAF TDN 4) are required for admission to the degree programme.

How do I create a PDF file?

There are several ways to create a PDF file. The Acrobat Reader from Adobe is a free software that you can download from the following link:
https://helpx.adobe.com/de/acrobat/using/creating-simple-pdfs-acrobat.html

Create a PDF file by using menu commands, dragging files onto the Acrobat application icon or converting data from the clipboard.

For more information, see for example various tutorials on Youtube.

What can I do with larger files such as moving images or audio files?

For the submission of moving images/audio files etc., only include links (e.g. to YouTube or Vimeo, if applicable as private/password-protected video) in the PDF of your portfolio. For capacity reasons, please avoid uploading such files.

How can I present the work from my portfolio and all other documents without a professional scanner?

You can also simply take photos of the work with your smartphone or camera. The original files can be reduced in size using the appropriate online tools.

E.g. https://compressjpeg.com/de/

What do I do with works that I cannot simply scan?

For example, try to take photos with different perspectives of your work and add notes about the materials used.

What do I do if the colours and materials of my work do not look like the original in the photos or scans?

We are aware that photos or scans do not exactly reproduce the original. This is taken into account by the examination committee. You do not have to incur any additional costs to have your portfolio professionally digitised.
