Hi has those who applied received a response yet? I applied earlier and I did my interview in December, and they tell you immediately after the interview if you got in.

I'm submitting mine digitally, because I live in Switzerland and can't come to London.
You?

Are you an international student? I thought they tell you the result on march or did they change it now ?

I applied in december and I've been invited for interview in february. also really? I thought that they emailed you around march time so they could decide after they've seen all the applicants... so did they tell you if you got in?

I had 14 sheets in the end + 2 sketchbooks.

I've just been to my interview at Goldsmiths for Design BA and got an offer! So I probably will withdraw my application for the foundation course. Still going to the AUB foundation interview though as I've already payed for travel and a hotel haha


congrats on the offer!! good luck on your course :biggrin:

International but they had an examiner fly over for the interview process so I did my interview at my school. Whole process took 30 mins, and for that I had a physical portfolio with my sketchbooks laid out and some of my artworks set up, and then first 15 mins they look at everything and you have to wait outside, and then the other 15 mins they interview you and after they asked u the questions they give you an offer at where they think you should go based on the work you show, and I know that some people in my school didn't get an offer from the school they applied to.

I thought csm didnt do interviews (for foundation atleast) Like we just leave the portfolio at 10am and pick it up later on the day and then they'll email you the results around end of March. This was till last year so maybe they changed it this year ohgod this is more nerve wrecking

Don't worry have some confidence in yourself! :smile:
Regarding the selection process this is what I found hope this clears things a little:
"If you applied via an official UAL representative or the Asia Branch Office(<— my route):
You might be asked to attend a face-to-face interview with one of our travelling academic staff. In these interviews, our staff can make offers for courses at any of UAL's six Colleges. This means that if you are not accepted at your first choice College, you may be offered a more suitable course at one our other five Colleges.

If you applied directly to one of our Colleges:
If you applied directly to a College and you live outside the UK, we might ask you to attend a telephone interview. If you are already in the UK, or you’re able to travel to the UK, we will interview you in person at the College. If your application and interview are successful, we will offer you a place at the College you have applied to."

hello guys, so I am going to apply for csm foundation too, but you know when you have to enter your GCSE results, they don't really have the options for science/additional science/further additional science..yet they have options for biology, physics and chemistry. So do I just not put the grades in or what? It's hard to convert the grades to just separate science subject

I had the same problem and I emailed them, they said to just enter it under the international qualifications section.
