We recommend that students from A-Level undertake a 1 year FAD course to strengthen their portfolio and prepare them for university level study.

We do accept students straight from BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Art & Design without a Foundation Diploma

In exceptional circumstances we do accept students straight from A-Level but their portfolio work would have to exceed the quality of applications from students from Foundation / BTEC courses. (This is quite rare)

You can apply for both a BA course and a Foundation course at the same time if you wish.

You can only apply for 1 UAL Foundation course. (CCW / CSM / LCC)
