Admission exam consists of the following parts:

Second round

Art tasks, which are specified according to the study programme the applicant has applied to. Interview before the department committee, where the applicant will show their orientation in the field they are applying to; part of the interview will be a discussion concerning their personal artistic activity log.

Department admissions committee

Given tasks and parts of the admissions are assessed by admissions committee, which consists of at least five members appointed by the AFAD rector. The committee members are the university teachers who teach at the study programme at the relevant department of AFAD and who have the artistic-teaching titles professor, docent, or assistant professor. The fifth member of the department admissions committee can be a university teacher who teaches at a different study programme at AFAD.

Members of the department admissions committee will assess tasks in both rounds using a six-point scale (0-5). Each task (including tests, personal interview and personal log) will be assessed individually, which means that applicant can earn maximally 25 points for each task (5 points from 5 committee members each). Advancement into the second round is conditioned by earning at least 50% of the maximum possible number for the tasks on the first day. The committee can, depending on a situation (e.g. small number of successful candidates) lower the admittance minimum to 45%.  Names of the applicants advancing to the second round will be disclosed the next morning, in the place where the admittance exam is being conducted.
