How to apply

To apply for the Pre-sessional Award, you must hold an offer for one of our Pre-sessional courses.

The video should be a maximum of 90 seconds long. Entries can be as creative as possible but must meet the brief above.

Email your video to presessional-admissions@arts.ac.uk with:

  • your full name
  • your UAL application reference number
  • 'Pre-sessional Award' in the subject line.

Videos can be sent in portrait or landscape format. You can send the video by:

  • attaching it to the email
  • using a file sharing website
  • uploading it to YouTube or Vimeo and sharing the link.

Please feel free to create the video in your own language, along with English subtitles.

Deadline

1 May ​for all Pre-sessional programmes.
