Is anyone applying to UAL Chelsea BA fine art 2026

yeah i am. I'm a bit nervous for the portfolio cos i can't tell if they are one of the schools that like really weird conceptual art or not.

Hey, I'm applying for fine art at chelsea. Yeah, they want to see that you can experiment and do a load of things. super excited though!

Yes! I applied for Chelsea and csm ba fine art but haven’t heard from them yet. I’m wondering if anyone has heard from them after submitting their portfolio?

just got my interview request for chelsea and camberwell!

Omg well doneeee,, can I ask when you submitted your portfolio for Chelsea as I’m wondering what kind of timelines I should be expecting

thank you! sent it on sunday so i’m a bit surprised but i think 1-2 weeks is common for a lot of people

Hiiii,, I submitted my portfolio for csm late December and Chelsea mid January and I haven’t heard back from either yet,, make sure you definitely got the confirmation that it’s been submitted all ok and unfortunately I think we’re just gonna have to keep waiting on them

Hi there,
I submitted my portfolio 2 weeks ago and it says 'submitted' on Pebble Pad but I didn't receive an email confirmation - did you receive one when you submitted?
Thanks for your help

Ahh ok thank you, also well done once again I hope you get in !!

Yeah I got an email that said the following,, I hope it goes well for you
Thank you for submitting your portfolio for 'BA (Hons) Fine Art' at 22:35 hours on 19 January 2026 to University of the Arts London (UAL).

I saw that someone got rejected from Chelsea in one of the other threads, so maybe it's better not to have heard from them

Yeah i got rejected yesterday. So sad but yknow it is what it is. Haven't heard from CSM yet though.
