Our academic staff visit South Africa to give students an opportunity to meet us in person, find out about studying at UAL, learn about preparing a portfolio, and discuss their application.
We will next be in South Africa in February 2019 (dates TBC). Please register your interest to be notified of the details.
What to expect
If you applied through one of our agents in South Africa, you may be able to have a face-to-face interview with one of our academic staff, otherwise you can be interviewed by telephone or Skype. Students who apply without a representative to one of our Colleges will be interviewed by telephone or Skype.
For more information on our interview schedule, contact our representative nearest to you (see contact details above).
Offers at interview
- Further education and undergraduate applications: If you are successful in the interview, you will receive an offer on the spot. If the interviewer cannot offer you a place on your first choice course, they will advise you on other suitable courses across UAL's six Colleges or recommend ways you can improve your work so that you can reapply at a later date.
- Postgraduate applications: For some courses our interviewers can make offers on the spot; for other courses they will make a recommendation to the College you are applying to.
