Media Art and Design, Bachelor of Fine Arts

The application for all degree programmes of the Faculty of Art and Design at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is exclusively conducted digitally via the Bauhaus.CampusPortal. Please register for the aptitude test – new from 5 February – by 31 March at the best. The homework will be published at the beginning of April. Please upload your application, including all required documents and the completed homework assignment, by 30 April.

The Bachelor's programme in Media Art and Design begins each winter semester.

The prerequisite for admission is the Allgemeine Hochschulreife (German higher education entrance qualification) or equivalent qualification. Applicants must also pass an artistic aptitude test, the specifics of which are determined by the Qualifying Examination Regulations in Media Art and Design. In the case of outstanding artistic talent, applicants may be admitted without the German higher education entrance qualification.

There are three steps to passing the aptitude test:

1. Registration/application for participation in the aptitude test. We will send you at the beginning of April a homework assignment with dates and details of the examination procedure.
2. Upload of the homework solution, your curriculum vitae with details of your education, previous knowledge if applicable and the most recently obtained school certificate as proof of the general higher education entrance qualification.
3. Personal interview and presentation of original artistic/design work samples (portfolio).

The aptitude test committee of the degree programme makes a preselection after reviewing the solution of the homework. Those who make it to the shortlist will be invited to the further aptitude test and take part in a personal interview, to which please bring artistic/design work samples (portfolio). Further details on the aptitude test are regulated by the aptitude test regulations (only available in German language).
