At University of the Arts London (UAL), we welcome students from around the world to a creative study experience on our Short Courses, Study Abroad, Pre-sessional, and Preparation programmes. Each year, thousands of students take their first steps toward a creative future with short-term opportunities at UAL.
We have over 60 official UAL and UAL Short Courses agents across the globe to guide you through your journey to join us.
This page explains:
- the support our agents can give you
- their contact details divided by country
- what it means for us to be part of the UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF)
- what you should do if you experience a problem when using a UAL agent.
Our agents will support you locally and in your language through every stage of applying for a course at UAL and UAL Short Course, free of charge. They will:
- give you information about UAL, including the courses we offer, funding opportunities and details about how to apply, including portfolio guidance
- support you through the entire process of submitting an application and help you make an informed decision about your future
- support with visa applications and preparing for your arrival. There may be a charge for help with some visa services and arranging travel to the UK.
Although our representative will support you throughout, you have overall responsibility for your application, including responding to any communication from us.

The UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF)
We’re committed to high standards of support for our students, and we work with our official representatives across the globe to help us achieve this. To show this commitment, we’ve signed the UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF) pledge.
Being part of the AQF pledge means that UAL is committed to the following:
- empowering student choice and enabling informed decision making
- promoting ethical agent practices and professional knowledge and competence
- ensuring good agent governance and professionalism
- increasing transparency and accountability.
All UAL representatives have been thoroughly checked by UAL and we only work with representatives who we trust completely.
The AQF have created a guide to help you with your decision on choosing and applying through a representative (or 'agent'). Download the guide by clicking on the link at the top of this page.
What if I experience a problem?
If you have any issues with a UAL agent, during or after applying to one of our courses, you can contact us through the UAL Portal or by emailing admissions@arts.ac.uk to make a complaint.
Please give us the following information when getting in touch:
- subject of email, please include the type of course you are applying to: Pre-sessional / Prep for BA / Study Abroad / Short course UAL agent complaint
- UAL ID number, if you’ve already applied to UAL
- full name of the UAL agent including the company name and any individuals you’ve been speaking to
- details of your complaint and any supporting evidence, such as emails or print screens.
