Admissions
Start application
Three steps: a short form here, the application fee, and the full application that goes to the New York Film Academy in the United States for review. You can begin today — the documents come later.
Nothing here is complicated. Each step unlocks the next, and an admissions manager is with you the whole way.
It takes a couple of minutes — your name, contacts and the programme you are interested in. As soon as you send it, two things happen: you receive an email with the payment details for the application fee, and your admissions manager sees that you have started, so they can reach out and answer questions.
Payment details by email45 000 ₸ for citizens of Kazakhstan, or $75. Pay using the details from the email — this fee covers the processing of your application and is what opens the next step.
45 000 ₸ or $75Once the fee is paid, the full application form arrives in your inbox. You fill it in, attach your documents and portfolio, and it goes to the New York Film Academy in the United States, where the admissions committee reviews it and makes the decision.
Reviewed by NYFA in the USPaid once, after you send the form — the details arrive by email. It is what moves your application to the next stage.
You will attach these at the third step. Start collecting them now — it is the part that takes the most time.
Your own work — short films, animation, 3D, game art, photography, drawings or writing. It does not have to be professional; it has to show how you think and what you can already make.
Studies are fully in English. IELTS 6.0 or Duolingo English Test 105 is what we ask for — the Duolingo test is taken online from home and is the faster route.
From teachers, mentors or employers who have seen you work. Ask early — people need time, and a specific letter from someone who knows you beats a formal one.
Why film, media, animation or games; why the New York Film Academy; and where you want this to take you. Write it in your own voice — the committee reads a lot of these.
You do not need any of this to start. Send the form today — you prepare the portfolio and documents while your application is being processed, and your manager will tell you exactly what fits your programme.
