We recommend that students from A-Level undertake a 1 year FAD course to strengthen their portfolio and prepare them for university level study.

In exceptional circumstances we do accept students straight from A-Level but their portfolio work would have to exceed the quality of applications from students from Foundation / BTEC courses. (This is quite rare)
You can apply for both a BA course and a Foundation course at the same time if you wish.
You can only apply for 1 UAL Foundation course. (CCW / CSM / LCC)

Eg. Camberwell Campus, next door, Bernard Myers House Nad Brooke Hall.A lot of students decide to rent private accommodation, either way the Student Accommodation service are dedicated to ensuring that all UAL students get the support they need when choosing accommodation.
Some of the most popular areas to live locally are: Vauxhall, Stockwell, Brixton, Oval, Kennington and Camberwell.
