Hi @F_.T

I would definitely start with reading through the UAL Textiles course page. It's always good to check the essential entry requirements to see if you have everything you need for the course.

Your application will also require a portfolio, so you could start collating your existing work together or start creating additional work to include for this. You don't have to rush to have a completed portfolio straight away, but it can help to gather your work and see it collectively to see if there are any gaps or things you can improve. I would suggest having a look at the UAL student work and even their socials to see what they get up to and if there's anything on there that inspires you to add more to your portfolio.

You can also access UAL student portfolios to have a look at what students' have created during their time on the course too. https://portfolio.arts.ac.uk/search?keyword-search=Textiles&submit=Search

And if you haven't already, I'd recommend setting up an Instagram account for your art/textiles work and start posting on there too. This doesn't have to become a full tome content account, but I found it was an additional example of my passion for my subject when applying to my uni options and it was great to start getting my work noticed too.

Hope this helps. 🙂
