What do we expect from you
We expect you to have sufficient talent and motivation for the profession of circus performer. We encourage our students to spend part of their study at a school abroad, deepening and widening their education or by specializing in a particular professional profile. At the same time, the academy wishes to attract foreign students from European and overseas countries. This may concern either full-time study or shorter periods (as part of exchange programs). English being the official teaching language should facilitate this possibility. For all English taught courses a minimum English language proficiency is required.
