ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Diploma

NAFA hopes to attract applicants with the potential to become excellent arts practitioners. Applicants are selected by merit, based on the following criteria:

  • Potential in Artistic Talent and Creativity
  • Educational Qualifications
  • Language Proficiency
  • Special Factor
  • Age Requirement
  • Module Exemption

Selection is competitive and places are subject to availability. However, the academy may consider talented applicants who excel in Artistic Talent and Creativity, but have not met the full educational requirements for the course.

Top-up degree course in collaboration with University of Essex

  • A graduate of NAFA’s Diploma in Arts Management or its equivalent
  • Satisfactory completion of an admission interview
  • Applicants should be 19 years of age or older in the year of admission
  • Language Proficiency: The University of Essex normally assumes that anyone educated in Singapore is fluent in English. If you have successfully completed post-secondary (e.g. Diploma) education in the medium of English, you will not normally be asked for additional evidence of proficiency. The minimum requirement for international students who have not studied in the medium of English is IELTS Academic Band 6 or equivalent; including a score of Band 6 in the written component.
  • Applicants whose qualifications do not conform to the above requirements (such as those with relevant experience or prior learning) may be considered on a case-by-case basis. In such cases, approval by the University of Essex will be required prior to final acceptance into the programme.

Age Requirement

Applicants should be 16 years of age or above in the year they are admitted to Year 1 of the diploma course.
