• Design, 120 credits In addition to fulfilling the general documentation requirements of Linköping University, including general entry requirements, applicants are required to submit the following:
  1. a current resumé
  2. a well structured and annotated portfolio
  3. a letter of motivation
  4. up to five samples of independently produced pieces of text
  
  The documentation must be submitted in their enteitity by the final cutoff date (Febuary 1st for admission to the programme autumn 2017). Incomplete applications will be regarded as ineligble.
  Additionally, those who fulfil above mentioned requirements will be invited to do a design task. The task is performed according to the invitation, and has to be assessed with a pass to fulfil the requirements for eligibilty to the programme. All texts must be in English.
  Eligibility is assessed partly on general entry requirements and partly on design ability manifested in portfolio, design task and other submitted material, as stated above. For the specific entry requirements, the submitted material must prove that the applicant possesses necessary prerequisites regarding design ability to contribute from the programme. The selection of eligible applicants is based on the submitted material, which will decide the final ranking of the candidates.
