In order to study at the Academy of Fine Arts, you must pass a multi-level aptitude test <\/a><\/strong> to demonstrate a certain level of artistic talent and aptitude for the program of study. You will be asked to submit independently prepared samples of your work (a \u201cportfolio\u201d). We will assess your aptitude by reviewing your portfolio and then invite you for an interview, in which you comment on your work and explain your interest in the subject. The Mainz Academy of Fine Arts offers individual academic advising to answer any questions relating to your portfolio or other topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you display particular talent in the aptitude test, you can also study Fine Arts at the JGU Academy of Fine Arts with a secondary school qualification (i.e. without a German Abitur<\/i>). As a future artist you should, of course, also posses a general passion for art and be highly motivated to fulfill your responsibilities during your studies. You must also demonstrate a willingness to explore the work of others and, for example, regularly visit museums and other cultural institutions. Finally, you should bring a multitude of ideas and have the courage to pursue and execute them with a great deal of energy and personal initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n
