How to register for our 1-year film programme
Below is all the information you need in order to sign up. But please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. EFC has one annual 1-year programme, starting end August and running until early May. The registration for the 2024-25 programme will open on October 3rd at 10am.
REGISTRATION CRITERIA
There are only one formal criteria for acceptance at European Film College: you must be at least 17,5 years when the programme starts.
We are, however, also bound by the Danish folk high school law to always have at least 50% Danish students at all times. We also aim to have an even distribution of gender in order to support gender diversity at EFC as well as in the film business, and we encourage everyone over 17,5 years to register, regardless of gender identity and sexual orientation.
Other than that, it is first in, first served.
Immediately after your registration, you will get a confirmation that we received your registration. But due to our legal requirement to have at least 50% Danish students, and due to our gender policy, you will have to wait until spring 2024 to know for certain whether there was a spot for you.
IMPORTANT: we receive between 170 and 200 registrations each year and only have 120 spots - so, the sooner you register after we open the form (early October), the better your chances are.
You sign up here.
