The Official 2019 Ravensbourne Applicants Thread

Hello. I’m Stefan, and I chose Ravensbourne because I was impressed by students’ work in my chosen field, as well as the fact graduates are highly employable in the industry.I’m interested in the Fashion Promotion course, and I hope I will be offered the neccesary expertise in order to improve my already existing vintage clothing store, as well as help me build a network of like-minded individuals.My portfolio is pretty much ready, but I am still waiting for the email which asks me about it. :smile:

)I love producing and mixing techno music.A random fact about me is that I haven’t bought “new” clothes since 2016, thrift shopping has become a lifestyle :smile:

) Aside from these things about me, I have a question. I have recieved the confirmation email on my application about a month ago, but I haven’t been asked to create an account on the ravensbourne portal or upload a portfolio. Could there be a problem with my application?

Hi Stefan, I'm Holly a moderator from Ravensbourne.

I'm glad to hear you've applied for the university!

As you are not currently enrolled at the university, you won't be able to create an account on the portal. Also you will be emailed about your portfolio when you are asked in for an interview. The course interviews take place over the next few months so you should hear back soon.

The admissions department are currently very busy processing applications, which is probably why you haven't heard back yet. You can contact admissions at: [email protected] to speak to someone about your specific application.

In the meantime you can come to our portfolio workshops which are held on the open days.

If you have any more questions please get in touch!

Holly

Hi! I've applied to the Design and Media Foundation course. I chose Ravensbourne because of the location and setting, and also the fact that it's more of a digital institute. I just wanted to know when I would receive an invitation to an interview, since I applied in December of last year, and received confirmation almost a month ago. I sent two emails asking about this, and both times I was told the admissions team is currently in the process of sending out invites. I'm still a bit concerned as Ravensbourne is my first choice university, and am worried if there was something wrong with my application.

Hi @Irishgirl269,

We will be sending out invitations for Foundation courses from next week I believe - as the deadline is later than Undergraduate courses. Sorry for your concern however I'm sure there is nothing to worry about. If you would like me to follow up/ ask more questions feel free to email me on [email protected].

Thank you,
Mollie

Hey Stefan, I’m Lesley, I’ve applied for the fashion promotion course too! Hope you’re well! Did you get an offer? If so, do you plan on going to the Life at Ravensbourne taster event? I’m thinking of going and I’d like to meet up with a few other people that are due to study the same course!

Yes, I had my interview at the end of February, and they emailed me on Wednesday. If you're worried, call them because I called them on the 8th March and they had already decided but took them a while to email me.

Ah ok thank you so much, did you get a place? I only had my interview a fortnight ago so maybe I just need to wait a little longer :smile:

Hi Meganne,

Due to the amount of applicants admission might take a bit longer getting back but if you would like to email them at [email protected] they will be able to get back to you about your application.

Goodluck!

Thanks,
