The Digital Fashion Technology Track of the Master's programme in Digital Design has a limit of 24 students and employs a selection procedure.

  1. Completion of a form where you provide, amongst others your experience; important projects; and motivation. A link to the form will be provided to you upon registration.
  2. Sending of required documentation, including diplomas and portfolio.
• Based on the above, a number of applicants will be invited for an interview, which will determine whether the admission committee will offer you one of the 24 places at the programme.

Candidates will be evaluated on:

• Their motivation for the programme
• Their interest in the field of digital fashion technology, preferably by their familiarity with current and upcoming trends in digital, fashion and/or digital fashion technologies as well as an awareness of the broader social, economic, technical and cultural effects of these trends
• Ability to explain a making process (of their own, or a chosen digital and/or fashion artefact) and elaborate on the different stages of the product and the people that were involved
