Admission to postgraduate-level programmes requires the completion of a BA degree or equivalent.

We are now accepting applications for September 2011. Click here to apply online and complete your application in minutes.

Prospective students who have an undergraduate degree in a subject other than art history and no other art background may qualify for admission through a satisfactory grade in one of the one-semester programmes or summer programmes or through professional experience or an active interest in the subject.

Applications are accepted throughout the year. However, we encourage candidates for admission to apply at the earliest possible date to ensure sufficient time for consideration and the availability of space in the programme of choice.

Transcripts
Official transcripts from all undergraduate and postgraduate-level programmes attended must be sent directly to the Institute’s Registrar from an applicant’s college or university and must be received prior to final action by the Committee on Admissions.

English Language
Applicants whose first language is not English must submit documentation of appropriate English proficiency test scores. The minimum requirements for all postgraduate programmes are fluent written and spoken English to British Council IELTS level 7 or TOEFL 100 (internet-based test) or 250 (computer-based test) or 600 (paper-based test) or equivalent.

Cancellation of Programmes or Courses
The Institute reserves the right to cancel any academic programme or course of study. Every effort will be made, but not guaranteed, to notify students of such cancellations well in advance of the programme start date.

Interviews
All full-time programme applicants will be invited to schedule an interview with an alumni representative and/or a member of the Institute’s staff during the admissions process. Interviews will be scheduled by the Admissions staff. Applicants will be contacted at the appropriate time to make such arrangements. The interviewer will assess the candidate’s aptitude for the programme, level of English proficiency and commitment to study.
