You can apply, if you have completed a vocational training as a ceramicist or potter or have been trained in a comparable craft or design profession, e.g. stone mason or media designer. If you have attained prior knowledge in the field of ceramics and pottery without having completed a vocational training course, you can also apply at the State Technical College of Ceramics. Additionally, there is the possibility to attend two modules as further vocational training.
