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.
Initial application check
We check your application to see if you meet the standard entry requirements for the course. If you do, you’ll be invited to submit a mini portfolio through UAL’s online portfolio review system (you do not need to do this if you are applying to the Creative Events pathway, you will be asked to submit a page stating 'Not Applicable' to enable your application to move on).
Mini portfolio
The portfolio should show the following:
- A maximum of 30 images or other files such as animation, film or video
- A range of visual work which demonstrates experimentation and idea generation
- Design development showing how problems are solved
- An interest in collaboration and making performances
- Awareness of character in the context of a dramatic situation
- Any previous experience of theatre work
- Sketchbooks and notebooks
Following the review of the mini portfolio we select applicants to move on to the next stage of the process. These applicants will be invited to an interview.
Interview
You will be expected to bring your portfolio, which will be reviewed by the academics conducting the interview (not for the Creative Events pathway). Please be prepared to talk about your work, what inspires you and your influences. We may not discuss all of these topics at the interview.
More details about your interview will be emailed to you once you have chosen or been allocated your date.
Selection for Home/EU applicants happens in a variety of different ways:
- In person at Wimbledon College of Arts
- By phone or Skype
If you choose phone or Skype your mini portfolio that you uploaded via UAL’s online portfolio review system will be used during the interview (not for Creative Events pathway).
