Edinburgh University Fashion Applicants

Hi, I was just wondering where else you’ve applied to and why you chose Edinburgh. I applied to Edinburgh too but solely based on what i’ve heard about it from class mates. It would be great to hear what you think about it.

I’ve also applied to uni of Leeds, Brighton and UAL but for graphics! I applied to Edinburgh because I like how it’s a 4 year course, the course modules really interest me but tbh I just really love the city and fell in love when I’ve visited before! Where have you applied? I can’t lie I’m kind of regretting my other choices!

Oh no hahaha! Have you heard back from any of them yet? And yes, Edinburgh does seem really nice although I’m starting to worry that atmosphere seems too ‘snobbish’ as that’s what I’ve heard about it in comparison to somewhere like Glasgow (not sure how true that is though). I’ve applied to Kingston, Nottingham Trent (regretting now :/), Demontfort and Northumbria. I was rejected but got an offer for a different course from Kingston today which I’m bummed out about as that was one of my top choices but oh well. How come you switched from fashion to graphics out of curiosity, or was that just for UAL?

Hi! If you don't mind, may I ask if you have received offers from Nottingham Trent and Northumbria, and if so, how long ago? I submitted my portfolio to Nottingham Trent one month ago, but I have yet to receive a decision.

Hi @qqychn!

First of all, congratulations on your offer from Kingston! 😆

I am a student at Kingston School of Art and wanted to let you know even if you didn’t originally want to do this new course that has been offered to you, our KSA offers so much. You might actually enjoy this course more which 2 of my friends now do who were in the same position as you. KSA has so many facilities on offer that are available for every student after an introduction session. I am currently learning how to create a hardback book even though my course has nothing to do with this (I do design marketing)! Have you been to one of our open days? These might come in handy to see what the KSA has to offer and possibly talk to a lecturer for your new course.

Please let me know if you have any questions to ask about KSA- we would love for you to join us!

Yeah I’ve got an unconditional offer at all of my other choices! I don’t think you should regret Nottingham Trent, I think it’s ranked higher than uni of Nottingham and it’s a great uni for art and design. Sorry about Kingston but good luck with Edinburgh or Glasgow! I’m sure you will enjoy it wherever you go. And I just chose graphic branding at UAL because it seemed like a very interesting course with lots of different career paths but fashion is what I would rather be doing.

Wow that’s amazing congrats! I received an offer from Edinburgh last night Have you heard back from them? If not I’m sure it’ll be within a few weeks. Have you any idea of your top choices yet?

Oh wow congratulations!! That’s amazing!! Do you mind me asking when you submitted your portfolio/ application? And Edinburgh would definitely be my top choice if I get an offer, If I don’t it would be Brighton atm. Just went to the uni of Leeds offer holder day and it was really disappointing if I’m honest.

hey, what are your top choices? i’ve also gotten offers from NTU and Edinburgh

hii, i’ve gotten offers back from ntu, edinburgh and central lancashire for fashion design BA, what are peoples top choices? im still unsure with mine

Aw no, how come? I've heard Leeds is meant to be quite good! I have a tendency of doing everything last minute so I'm pretty sure I submitted my portfolio a day before the due date :/

congrats! definitely Edinburgh as of now. I really liked the atmosphere of UCLAN when I went but it's a bit too close to where I live for me to want to spend money on accommodation . I guess it depends whether you prefer larger or smaller cities

Would you mind me asking what your predicted grades are?

It’s just extremely academic compared to practical and creative. You rarely ever get the chance to make anything, all the designing and everything created for portfolios is all digital. I would just rather be able to do more hands on making and have more studio time. Compared to Brighton where I went to their offer holder day and the studio is just bursting of creativity, and with the course helping you establish your own identity as a designer and develop a brand whilst still learning the business side of things, it was just miles better.
