UAL｜Fshion Marketing
I'm an international student currently in Year 12 and planning to apply for UAL in 2026 for fashion marketing. I' ve already taken my AS exams and got Maths A, Economics B, and Accounting B. My predicted A-level grades are Maths A, Economics A, and Accounting A.
I also have a portfolio that includes a 3,000-word essay and a visual project, with the final outcome being a promotional video.
I was wondering how strong my chances are of getting an offer from UAL with these grades and portfolio.

for fashion marketing i’m pretty sure you don’t need a portfolio - just the personal statement then possibly an interview

Thanks for your reply. I'm preparing the portfolio because I worry that I don't have enough examples to prove my passion for this major.
