English language requirements

All classes are conducted in English, so you will be required to have a fluent understanding of the language. If English is not your first language you will be asked to provide evidence of your English language ability. We strongly advise international applicants to take an IELTS test as soon as they consider studying in the UK. Minimum scores for entry on to a postgraduate course are as follows:

IELTS (International English Language Testing System): 6.5
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): hand written test: 548-567, computer based test: 211-225

We provide free tuition in English for international students and regular workshops in the language of art and design. We also offer a number of short courses that enable students from overseas to improve their portfolios and English skills before applying to their chosen course.

Portfolio advice

When applying to the course you must submit documentation of your work preferably in the form of up to 20 slides, or alternatively a CD Rom or DVD. Brief versions or long clips of time-based pieces are helpful; there is not enough time to examine large amounts of documentation. Extra documentation or examples of work may be brought to interview.
