Is UAL’s product design program competitive?

I’m applying to Ual this year for product design, is it a really competitive course to apply to and are the grade requirements high?
I was going to apply to ual for fashion design, but changed my mind because of how competitive it is to get in, as well as how expensive london is

I think ual as a whole has like 20% acceptance rate, and csm individually has only 6%

I applied for Product design before but a few years later got into the architecture course :smile:
ahh cool, do you mind if I ask you a question about UAL. I have to decide which uni I'm going to for product design between CSM, glasgow school of art and edinburgh university and am really not sure. Location isn't a worry for me i just want to go to the uni that is the best and will get me the best job prospects.

My advice is to visit each uni ask for the program, interact with the students there and see the environment. That really makes a big difference. It also depends if you want to stay I. London or not. See your priorities and depending on that choose. Don’t only choose depending on the ranking, they all are so strong unis.For other unis you also applied for product design?
