Hi @Sarinazameni

Well done for your GCSE grade! Are you studying A-Levels in between GCSEs and Uni? If you are then your A-Level grades are what universities will look over.

The entry requirements for our Fashion BA course are: UCAS tariff points: 128-144
Level 3 qualifications, in Art and Design subjects (A-levels, BTEC Diploma, Access Diploma, IB Diploma, etc.). The preferred entry route is to first take a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design or recognised equivalent course.

You would also need to upload a portfolio of your work when applying.

I hope this helped and please let me know if you have any questions! :smile:

Yes! 🙂 Although I'm not sure when they plan on reviewing applications, my best advice would be to contact them directly here to get more information: [email protected]

Just found this info on our webpage :

Entry onto this course requires submission of a portfolio.
All applicants to the course are interviewed with their portfolio.
All applicants to the course are guaranteed an interview either onsite or online with their portfolio of work. This is a formal application requirement to the course.
