How to Apply

First of all, you should check our current Clearing places for Home, Rest of UK (RUK) and International applicants.

On these pages you will find links to more information about each programme, as well as an applicant guide for your 15 page portfolio submission for your chosen programme.

Applications for Clearing are now open and are made directly to the GSA using our Clearing 2025 Application Form.

To make your application you will need a 500-word Personal statement as well as a PDF portfolio submission consisting of 15 images of your own work. Visit the relevant available places pages for the Applicant Guidelines and portfolio examples for your selected programme.  

You will also need to provide scanned copies of the following pieces of documentation:

• A copy of your academic qualifications
• A copy of your passport
• A copy of your English Language qualification (only if English is not your first language, i.e. IELTS qualification)

Following receipt of the above, your application will be passed to the relevant member of academic staff for a full assessment. We will then confirm to you whether or not we are able to offer you a place to study in autumn 2025.

We aim to respond to applications made through Clearing within one working day.
