How to get into UAL?

Hi!
So, I’m 15 years old and a sophomore. My dream is to study public relations at UAL (London College of Communication).
I live in Brazil but I’m portuguese, so I’d be applying as a home/EU student, and I’d also try to get a scholarship, because my family can’t afford the tuition + cost of living in London.
I have nice grades (As and Bs, except for one D in chemistry on my freshman year), but I’m working really hard to improve my grades, and I plan to do a summer course next year.
Any advices? Do you think I have a chance to get in?
Thank you very much!

The entry requirements are low.

What you apply for depends upon whether the uni sees you as a home / EU student.

To qualify for that status it isnt just nationality (Portugese) but they will require you to have lived in the EEA/EU for three years prior to the start of the course and your problem is you live in Brazil, which is not in the EU. You would be ok if you had lived in Portugal. I think this is yur problem, but check with the unis international department.

There is also a section for scholarships and awards at the bottom of the page on the link I gave.

Keep working hard on your grades.
