HI there,

Great to hear you're interested in some of the courses on offer at the University of the Arts London.

For Fashion Communication and Promotion at CSM you will need a portfolio .
For Fashion Journalism at CSM you will need examples of your written work
For Fashion Journalism and Content Creation at LCF if you are selected after submitting your personal statement, references and application form you will be asked to write a 500 word piece of writing.

You can check out all the Fashion Communication related undergraduate course at UAL through this link here.

If you have anymore questions about studying at UAL or being a student in London etc. please do not hesitate to ask.

All the best,

Thank you so much that is very helpful. Do people tend to write the 500 piece of writing for LCF before they are selected by the course or is there enough time to write a piece afterwards? Also does LCF offer open days? Cant find any for the course online. Thanks

Hi there,

They will give you enough time to prepare the piece of writing after you have progressed through the first stages of the application process. That being said the topic is already available online so you could make a start or start thinking about it now if you wanted to. They would like you to respond to the following question: 'What do you think are the most important fashion media today and why?'

I believe the undergraduate open days have just happened so you may have missed them but there will be other ways of visiting the campus and hearing about the course. I recommend you register your interest here and then you will be kept up to date with events and open days at the college or online.

Kindest,

Hi @millie8808803,

For the Fashion Comms course at CSM a foundation is preferable but as you have said above it is not necessary for the LCF course so don't worry!

Hope that reassures you and as always do not hesitate to ask if you have anymore questions.

Kindest,
