AMFI - Amsterdam Fashion Institute (English programme)
Selection
As there are more prospective students than study places, AMFI has a limited number of study places (325). Therefore, the programme has a selection procedure.
Chance of placement
AMFI has a capacity for 325 students for the 2023-2024 academic year. On April 15, the ranking numbers will be distributed. The participants with numbers 1 to 410 will be offered a place immediately on 15 April, which they must accept within two weeks.
If you have been allocated a number higher than 325, you obviously want to find out if there's a chance that you will be offered a place, and if so, when. If your number is slightly higher than 325, this could happen relatively soon after April 15th. If you have been allocated a higher number, you will have to wait a little longer.
Starting on Monday, May 1st, we will show in the overview below every two weeks which ranking number has been called. This way, you can estimate your chances of being called between May 1st and August 15th (the date on which AUAS offers its final places). So, check this page regularly, even in the summer, but especially after the results of the final HAVO/VWO exams are announced. This is the moment when applicants who have already accepted their place must return it because, unfortunately, they have failed their exams.

Following your enrolment request in Studielink you will receive more information. The degree programme will send you an invitation to participate in one of these selection days.
As it currently appears, the selection days for the Dutch programme will be physical, for the English programme these will take place online. You will receive more information about the programme from AMFI studentdesk when you are invited to participate in one of the mentioned days.
Candidates living outside the EU/EEA are also eligible for an online interview. After you register and submit the required assignments, you will receive a personal invitation to an interview. This interview will take place in February and March.
Programme
The selection process consists of:
- a homework assignment
