Application Guide
Diploma Education

School document(s)

Please attach the records of your qualifications from upper secondary school/high school or equivalent. If you have graduated from a university, you can submit your university documents instead. If you have started but haven’t finished a university, you can still choose and submit your official university admission document together with the transcript of grades that you have acquired so far. The documents from high school and/or university must include a diploma together with the transcript of your grades and be in English. 

For example: 
If you are applying to the Game Programmer program where knowledge in Math and Programming is a requirement, and if you had these courses in high school but not at your university, then you should choose to submit your high school papers.

CV

Apart from your work experience your CV must also include:

• Your full address (street, postal code, town, country)
• Your date of birth (format: day-month-year)
• Your phone number with the country code.

Cover letter

In your cover letter, explain what motivates you to study at our school, why you have chosen the specific program, what your future goals after the graduation are, etc. If you are applying to more than one program, your personal letter should be adapted to each program application.

Important

• All documents must be saved in a PDF or JPEG format and all external links must be included in your CV. If you have any external links showcasing your artistic work, please insert these links in your Work Sample PDF document.
  
• All documents must be submitted in English. School diplomas and transcripts of grades must have a certified translation in English. If your name/surname has changed since the last time you studied, please send us a document that proves it.

Please send us a work sample for the program you are applying to. Not all programs require a work sample. Make sure to visit the page of your program of interest to check if this is relevant for your application and to learn more about the work sample requirements. Different programs have different work sample requirements.

All our programs are taught in English, therefore, we need to make sure that you will be able to follow the classes and communicate with your classmates.

Ways how you can prove your English

• Certificate from an employer
  Have you worked at an English-speaking workplace for at least a year? Then simply send us your employer’s certificate and we will check if we can validate it as being sufficient.
  
• English test
  These are the tests we accept and the scores you must have: Duolingo (110), IELTS Academic (6,5), TOEFL (87-109) and Cambridge test (C1 Advanced (CAE)).
  
• English from a university 
  If you have previously studied at a university and had English courses, please attach your university diploma together with the transcript of your grades. We will evaluate if those courses will be enough.
  
• English-speaking school
  If you have studied at an English-speaking school, please send us a document that proves this.
  
• English as a native language
  If your native language is English, it should be clear from your submitted documentation. Alternatively, you can upload a copy of your passport.
