Admissions

Who are we waiting for?

From those who wish to learn painting, we primarily expect openness, curiosity about the surrounding life and art – interest and (age-appropriate) familiarity with art life (including the habit of visiting art exhibitions) is one of the prerequisites for successful study. Basic manual skills are important, which are manifested in painting, but also in drawing, etc. in form. However, the pictures taken so far are not decisive, rather the abilities, assumptions and will to express oneself boldly and personally, to analyze and artistically interpret the surroundings are useful. Mental flexibility, the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and the willingness to cooperate, the ability for basic self-criticism are also useful – that is, in short, the ability to react intelligently.

Admissions to the Fine Arts curriculum take place jointly. The first semester takes place in co-study with the sculpture-installation and graphic art specialities. During the first semester, students learn about all three specialities and undergo an introductory course. At the end of the first semester, students can choose between three specialities and begin studies in their chosen area. The way studies are organized allows electives to be taken across the specialities so that students can also enroll in courses in other fields

Please note that all our bachelor’s degree programmes are taught in Estonian language and the level of language skills needs to be at least B2 in order to be eligible to apply.
