To apply for a place on an undergraduate course (BA/BSc) you need to have completed your high school education (12 years) and have a pass equivalent to two UK A level passes, and have the required English language qualification.

The normal entry requirements for postgraduate degrees (MA/MSc/MBA/LLM) are a good honours degree, or equivalent qualification, in an appropriate subject from a recognised university or HE institution. We also consider candidates with other relevant qualifications and individuals with appropriate work experience.

Some courses may require the submission of a portfolio. If this is the case, it will be outlined in your offer letter.

The portfolio is your opportunity to show us your creative skills and why you would like to join our art and design department.

Carefully select and edit a small selection of work to produce an exciting, creative and representative portfolio of your work, which informs us about your skills, interest and ambitions.

It should include a statement (max 300 words) introducing the work in your portfolio. Your statement should explain why you have chosen your discipline and where you might like to develop in your time with us.

The portfolio should contain a maximum of 15 samples of work.

This must include:

• A selection of your student projects (if relevant)
• A selection of your professional work (if relevant)
• A brief, illustrated explanation of any research you have undertaken
• Examples of preparatory creative work (for example, images from your sketchbooks)

We are unable to give individual feedback on your portfolio.

To apply for our International Foundation year, you would be expected to have at least 11 years of education. We would also accept:

• International Baccalaureate: 20-22 points
• European Baccalaureate: 50‐55 out of 100
