This is a longest part of the process, and it consists of several parts:

• KMH verifies general eligibility and certain special eligibility, such as previous exams.
  
• KMH evaluates work samples for the courses where it is requested.
• KMH sends calls for entrance examinations to applicants, at least 3 weeks before the test takes place. The notice describes which examinations you should do.
• Entrance examinations for the special eligibility takes place, usually in the middle of March. Includes joint music theory tests, so called MT-tests, as well as auditions and local music theory tests.
  

Parallell to the eligibility verification. Includes evaluation of entrance examinations and other qualifications for any specific requirements.

On 10 April, KMH will have decided which of the applicants will be accepted. The selection process is, to a certain extent, overwhelmed with the eligibility check.
