UAL journalism BA

i’m currently in year 13 hoping to get into the undergrad journalism course for UAL , does anyone know if a portfolio is needed to apply? i know it is required for other courses but i couldn’t find out whether if it is for journalism

A portfolio is typically not needed as part of the application process for the undergraduate Journalism course at UAL. The UAL portfolio advice page states that, "To help us assess your application, we may ask you to upload a portfolio of your work and/or a video task or self-tape which are submitted via PebblePad. Your specific course page will tell you exactly what you need to submit. You must upload your portfolio and/or video task or self-tape by the deadline we give you."
You are not required to submit a portfolio unless the journalism course specifically requests one. Instead of a creative portfolio, the journalism application usually concentrates on your academic credentials and personal statement. For the most recent requirements, it's a good idea to visit the course page or get in touch with admissions.
For more updated information, please check out this page: https://www.arts.ac.uk/subjects/journalism-pr-media-and-publishing/undergraduate/ba-hons-journalism-lcc#course-summary
Please note that the course is currently undergoing re-approval. (to ensure the course continues to provide a high quality academic experience) During re-approval there may be some changes to the course content displayed on this page. If you have course specific questions, you may click on the yellow “contact us” box from the above link where you will be asked to fill in your name and email in the form,
Meanwhile, Please get in touch if you have any more questions on the course / student life! I wish you all the best in your application and preparation process!

thank you! Can i ask how many hours of study there are per week? i will need a part time job to get by, and if im expected to come in everyday, this might not be possible for me.
