STEP 1
Fill out the form below. You will receive an email with the Student Information Package at the email address specified upon submission of this form.
You can submit your portfolio application at any time. A professional artist will review your portfolio and give you feedback.
If your portfolio demonstrates that you have the required level, you will be pre-accepted and will be able to choose which program you would like to join and for which session.
If you still need to improve in certain areas, the artist who evaluates your portfolio will tell you which element(s) you need to work on, and will indicate which preparation course(s) would be beneficial for you to take.
Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] in case you do not receive the email.
The following intakes are open for application:
AEC Concept Art Program (NTL.1V) - Spring 2025
Start date: March 31st
Notice to Canadian Applicants
Due to unforeseen delays in student visa processing, several of our international students admitted to the Spring 2025 cohort will unfortunately be unable to join us until the Fall intake.
This presents an excellent opportunity for Canadian students looking to join the program! With a smaller cohort, you will benefit from more interaction time with instructors and professionals, as well as even more personalized support.
Don't miss this unique chance to learn in an optimal environment!
