5 Things to consider before applying for a creative course in the UK
Artway Director, Wendy Pye, explains what you need to do to prepare for and apply to top UK universities such as University of the Arts London, Goldsmiths - University of London, The Royal College of Art, and Glasgow School of Art.
Doing portfolio preparation with Artway meant I didn’t have to do an Arts Foundation before applying for a BA in Animation in the UK. Artway supported me during my gap year online to prepare and develop my portfolio to the standard it need to be. I received the offer I dreamed of on the top UK Animation course at Hertfordshire University. Artway saved me time and money 👍🏼
Artway helped me understand how important my portfolio was to support my application to top UK art universities — in my case, UAL, one of the top arts universities in the world. Their fashion courses are very competitive, but Artway helped me produce and develop a portfolio that amazingly got me a place on the BA Fashion Design / Menswear course at London College of Fashion - very grateful!!😀
