Is it possible to work part time alongside a BA fashion design degree? I know it’s intensive course but would be super helpful to understand if doing somewhere between 14-20 hours a week work seems possible?

Morning,
I had an interview for the architecture k101 ba course at csm just over a week ago. I was wondering how ual csm offer students a place for the course as it has become apparent to me that they had two interview periods for students one in February and one in march. I was also frustrated that I got my interview in march as they had asked to resubmit my portfolio previously twice from December-march due to some confusion showing that their system in allocating students an interview from the admissions team was not clear from my personal experience. As a result I got an interview in the second batch in march and not in February which was the first batch and those in the first batch have received their offers before the easter break. I still have not received an offer from csm due to this and am hoping to receive one when they reopen on the 8th next week. Please could you let me know what may have happened and how I will receive an offer from them. Thanks.

Hello!
Yes it is possible! We understand living in London is expensive (especially atm!). We offer lots of support when it comes to looking for potential paid work/opportunities. We have an entire platform called ArtsTemps which can help you find work whilst you're studying and beyond!
Hope this helps and best of luck with your future studies!!
Best,
Georgia
