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:
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.
Digital portfolio submission is possible via the application portal.
Application deadline:
The digital application can be uploaded until 31 March of the year.
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.
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.
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.
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/
For example, try to take photos with different perspectives of your work and add notes about the materials used.
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.
