RUBIKA ENTRANCE EXAM

ALL ABOUT THE EXAMINATION

🔹 The entrance exam allows us to evaluate your preparation and the adequacy of your profile against the expected level. It is also an opportunity to get to know you better, to gauge your motivation, personality, and personal and professional objectives…

🔹 Registration is done directly on the school’s website via the registration forms.

🔹 A portfolio, including a set of personal productions, must be presented on the day of the competitive examination. In the case of an application for the year 4, the candidate’s portfolio must be sent at the time of registration for the exam.

🔹 The examination fee is 150 euros, but the school offers a preferential rate of 120 euros until December 31, 2022.

🔹 It is possible to enter multiple competitions from various streams. For this, RUBIKA offers competition packs at a rate of 220€ (180€ before December 31, 2022).

🔹 Candidates for the examination must have at least a high school diploma and be no older than 24 years old.

🔹 The entrance examinations are open to holders of a high school diploma.

🔹 Places at RUBIKA are limited because the school favours human-sized classes (24 students maximum). In 2021, 233 candidates applied for the 3D Animation competition for 48 open spots, i.e., one admitted student for every five applicants.

🔹 Online examinations are organised for candidates living abroad. For more information, please contact our International Relations Manager, Petra Berber: p.berber@rubika-edu.com.
