Are you thinking about coming to study with us at the Amsterdam Fashion Academy? Perhaps you have questions about our courses, how to register, how the selection procedure works or what it is like to study at a fashion academy in Amsterdam? Or maybe you want to transfer from your current university to our Academy?

Applying to one of our undergraduate or foundation programmes is the first important step in your future at Amsterdam Fashion Academy. We greatly appreciate your trust in our academy and we will give your request careful consideration. Choosing the right course at a university that’s right for you is a big decision to make. That’s why we don’t just make our decisions based on a submitted form, but prefer to talk to you during one of our interview days or open days. Your motivation, drive and commitment are just as important to us as your prior education. In order to make the admission process as clear and straightforward as possible, we have split it into four steps.
