ECA Applicants 2015/16

I called admissions last friday to see where they were on first year applicants to product design BA specifically - so this may not be true for all school of design subjects. They are still reviewing the online portfolios - no replies had been issued as of last Friday. They will start making responses towards the end of this week, it is their intention that we should have heard one way or the other by the end of next week but certainly by the end of the month as laid out in the UCAS details.
The moderator CRL thinks they are full of good intentions and may not stick to their time line.
Hope this helps

I can only help you second hand as my son did an MA in performance costume there, not me, but I can maybe help a bit. He had a wonderful time, fwiw. If there are specific things you want to know, I can ask. It's a very small course, and it's very intensive, from what he tells me about the BA course. He knew a lot of the students on the BA course and that's why he went for the MA after his first degree. The degree shows are fantastic and there are quite a lot of youtube clips you can have a look at. It's a very big thing in the city. There are lots of industry connections because the Festival is such a big consumer of theatrical expertise.

As far as interviews are concerned, they don't seem to do them. My son also did his undergrad there and it was just a portfolio inspection, not an interview. You get taken round the university while they are looking at your work. This was for second year entry though. Sorry I can't be particularly helpful, but I didn't want you to go unanswered.

Thanks for the reply! I'll have to check out the youtube clips, but it looks like I might rule ECA out, it's just way too expensive for me. But if you could answer, do they do a lot of work studies? And you said BBC, but also films? I've heard back from Nottingham Trent(without an interview, which has me wary) and Central London School of Speech and Drama has offered me to start year 2 because of my experience. I wish I knew about how the system works for ECA as I would have applied for year 2. I have 3 years experience in the states already, do I don't think I need to start with the bare basics. I'm just waiting to interview Royal Welsh later this month, as their program also looks great. It's pretty much down to CSSD and RWCMD for me.

Just got an offer for Fine Art MA about ten minutes a go! So shocked!!

Got an Offer for 1st year General Art!!!!!

What is the difference with the Fine Art MA and General Art? I didn't even realize they did Art as one? (Sorry for poor knowledge)

Are you thinking of choosing Edinburgh? Have you done foundation or from A-Levels ?
