Once you have submitted your application

When your application has passed the admissions panel you will be prompted for an interview with the course director and/or academic coordinator. Usually, this interview will take 10 to 15 minutes and be conducted via Zoom or similar. The time zone difference is taken into account, but we ask you to be flexible when arranging a time for the interview.

The interview is to inform us about your level and previous experience, but also to ensure that you will get maximum benefit out of your stay at Metàfora.
