You may be applying directly from school or university and be seeking a career in the fashion, media or luxury brand industries. Or you may simply wish to fuel your personal interests.

Either way, entry to both the Diploma and Certificate course is highly competitive. Successful applicants will possess an inherent inquisitiveness, the maturity to take responsibility for their personal development, and the capacity to thrive in an environment that encourages critical thinking and clear communication.
Entry is a competitive two-stage process.

Stage One will consist of the completion of an application form to assess an applicant’s potential to benefit from the course. Each applicant will be asked to provide details about themselves including personal details, education history and any work experience undertaken, and will also be asked to write in 250 words a personal statement describing their academic interests and reasons for applying to the College.

Stage Two a limited number of applicants will be invited for interview (either in person or by telephone/Skype). They will also be required to complete a short creative task ‘The College Challenge’ that will be set in advance of the interview. In making a decision on entry we will review the following criteria:

• ~ Interest and understanding of visual disciplines
  (e.g. photography, styling, print, design)
• ~ Research and investigative skills
• ~ Writing ability
• ~ Creative thinking and problem solving
• ~ The use of a range of materials and processes
• ~ A keen interest in fashion, design and related subjects
