2021/22 entry

We are no longer accepting applications from international students for 2021/22 entry to this course. We are unable to say at this point if places will become available later in the cycle. If they do, we will reopen applications.

Apply

There are 3 ways international students can apply to an undergraduate course:

• Through one of our official representatives in your country
• Through UCAS
• By direct application

If you are applying via UCAS you will need the following information:

• University code - U65
• UCAS course code - W104

You can only apply to the same course once per year whether you are applying via UCAS, UAL representative or using the UAL online application system. Any duplicate applications will be withdrawn. Read the UAL international application advice for further information on how to apply.

Application deadline

We recommend you apply by 29 January 2021 at 18:00 (UK time) for equal consideration. Following UK COVID-19 restriction announcements, the deadline for undergraduate applications has been extended from 15 January.

What happens next

Communicating with you

After you’ve submitted your application, you’ll receive a confirmation email providing you with your login details for the UAL Portal. We’ll use this portal to contact you to request any additional information, including inviting you to upload documents or book an interview, so please check it regularly.

Please add ccw.international@arts.ac.uk to your contacts to ensure that you do not miss any important updates about your application to UAL.

Immigration history check

Whether you’re applying online via UCAS, through a UAL representative or by direct application you will need to complete an Immigration History Check to establish whether you are eligible to study at UAL. If you don’t complete the check we won’t be able to proceed with your application.

Initial application check and selection

We check your application to see if you meet the standard entry requirements for the course. If you do, you will be invited to submit a digital portfolio through UAL’s online portfolio review system. These will be reviewed by the academic team.

Following the review of the digital portfolio we select a small number of applicants to move on to the next stage of the process. These applicants will be invited to book a telephone interview selection event.

How we notify you of the outcome of your application

• If you applied through UCAS you will receive the final outcome of your application through UCAS track
• If you applied directly or through an agent, we will notify you through the UAL portal

Applicants for this course may be given an alternative offer. This decision will be based on our assessment of your creative and potential interests.

Feedback requests:

This course receives a high number of applications. Unfortunately, we can’t provide feedback to everyone who is unsuccessful. We can only provide feedback after you’ve had an interview.

If you would like to request feedback - please email ccw.international@arts.ac.uk. We are only able to provide feedback to you directly, or to someone you have told us in writing can receive it on your behalf.
