Programme-specific documents

Portfolio: If possible, update and adapt your existing portfolio for this assessment.

Works can come from academic, professional or even free projects.

Reference and letters of recommendation: please send us at least one letter of recommendation from either an academic or a professional institution/organisation. The person should also act as a personal referee – in case we require more information about you.

Study programme expectations: Please let us know what exactly you expect from your graduate studies at KISD. This may take the form of a precise depiction of an integrated design project you have in mind – or a substantial argumentation of your general interest in the field of integrated design.
