Hello there! I'm currently a student on the CCW foundation course. I'm afraid that you've misunderstood the whole CCW campus thing. You don't get to choose which campus to go to. Camberwell, Wimbledon and Chelsea are the smallest colleges out of UAL. So, instead of having three separate foundation courses, they teamed up and created one course. The tutors are from all three colleges and the Foundation course is located on ONE campus. And it's in Camberwell. The exact address is 1 Wilson Road, London, SE5 8LU. If you have anymore questions about the course, feel free to ask me :smile:

Well, I'm not quite sure what you mean by orientation things. We, first did a rotation for the first part of the course in groups. We tried the Design pathway (Fashion & Textiles, Theatre Design, Spatial Design), Communication (Graphics, Film & Animation, Illustration) and Art (Drawing, Painting, etc) and we did projects and workshops in each pathway.The groups are usually around twenty students and it changes with every rotation, so you get to meet new people!And after you've tried everything, you get to choose which specialism you want to get in. As for the BA thing, there is an internal progression scheme that the students apply through for a BA course. From what I understand, UAL students are a priority IF they pass and have an attendance of at least 80%, although the spaces on each course are limited. So, if you don't get accepted to your first choice, I think they'll give you a second, but I'm not quite sure about that. Well, this is everything I can think of atm. Hope you found this helpful.

Thanks its really helpful! :smile: cos i heard from my friend who will be get into CSM foundation that they will have this orientation for freshman that help them to get to know each other, so i guess is it CCW will also have the similar event or sth? As I'm an international students, I wonder whether i should arrive london a few days before the sch start (if they have this orientation)?

Yeah, I heard that, too, but keep in mind, most uni hostels aren't 5 star hotels. :tongue: Also, I really don't know because I don't live in a hostel but my friend does and she says it's not that bad. Her only complaint is the people on her floor. They don't clean up after themselves in the shared kitchen. I imagine that happens in most dorms but, again, I suggest you ask someone else.

I think you should go to London earlier any way, so you can unpack and settle down a bit before jumping into uni, but that's just my personal opinion.
Hi , I'm also going to be attending the same course , just wanted to ask , are you going to do your accommodation from the university or on your own ?

Hi, I am going to attend CCW foundation course as well and have a question about the school schedule. Is it easy to get a personal free day so that I can get 3 days weekend? I have no idea how the school schedule works daily because there's no information about it on the website, but does the course have very structured schedule or more flexible? I'd appreciate it so much if you can answer this! Thanks :smile:

hi! this is a long shot since you commented this 7 years ago, but I am a bit confused on CCW fees. If I am under 19 on the 31st of august of the year that I would start the course, will I have to pay fees? I heard from someone that if ccw isn’t my closest foundation (which it isn’t) then i’ll have to pay the fees.
