International applicants
Applications should be made direct to the International Office at Central Saint Martins. You can download the international application pack from the relevant course section of this website or call +44 (0)20 7514 7027.
BA (Honours) and Foundation Degree
BA (Honours) and Foundation Degree Students who are interested in applying only to the Colleges of the University of the Arts London can apply directly to Central Saint Martins using the international application pack. You can download the international application pack from the relevant course section of this website or call +44 (0)20 7514 7027.
If you intend to apply to more than one university in the UK, you should apply through the Universities and Colleges Admission Service (UCAS) - although the deadline for application is March UCAS will accept late applications until June. Please request a UCAS application form from UCAS at Fulton House, Jessop Avenue, Cheltenham GL50 3SH, tel: +44 (0)1242 227 788. You can also order a UCAS form or even submit your application online at http://www.ucas.com/
Please note, that students who apply to us directly should not apply to UCAS at the same time!
Applying directly to the College has a number of advantages to submitting a UCAS form:
- We consider direct applications throughout the year. This way we are able to review work and give advice without strict time constraints.
- If you apply directly to the College and are unsuccessful in your first choice, we can forward your application to many other courses in the University of the Arts London. UCAS applicants applying to Route B courses are limited to three choices on the application form, which must be in order of preference.
All applicants must submit a portfolio in support of their application. Students applying from abroad may make a postal application (see below); international applicants currently in the UK will be invited to present their portfolio at an interview.
When do I apply?
There is no official application deadline, but we strongly advise students to apply before the end of April.
