Things to watch
In creative fields portfolio and experience are very important. For the job market and income, also develop practical skills (marketing, technical tools).
Advice for studying abroad
Prepare a portfolio for admission. At design and art schools look at the faculty and student work. Within the State Programme, the arts and culture direction may be in a separate list, so check the conditions on the official source.
This type is not a result by itself. A person's code often combines two or three types. We discuss this in How to read your Holland code. After you get your result, see what to do next.
