SHORT FILM ABOUT YOUR INTENDED ARTISTIC/ INDEPENDENT WORK
The Master's program includes a written independent artistic work where you research a topic of your own choosing. Record a separate presentation film of about 3 minutes in which you present yourself and your ambitions studying a master’s program. Please also briefly describe what you would like to focus on in your future independent work during. Name this file with your name and the word "presentation" and upload it together with the other videos.
Videos are uploaded through file upload. Instructions regarding how to submit your videos will be sent in a separate email after admission has closed to the email address you have entered on UniversityAdmissions.se.
INTERVIEW VIA ZOOM
You may also be called to a supplementary personal interview via Zoom after the work samples have been reviewed.
