Graduate Diploma application process
Applications for the January 2024 intake of the Graduate Diploma Art & Design are now open.
We receive a substantial number of applications for the Graduate Diploma which are are reviewed in the order they are submitted. We encourage you to apply as soon as you are ready; if you delay your application, your preferred intake may be full.
You may not apply for the same programme more than once, and can apply for a maximum of two (2) different programmes, in the 2024 admissions year. See the Eligibility page for more information.
What happens next
Once you have completed your application it will be reviewed by our academic staff including the Programme Lead and in some cases Senior Tutors and Admissions Tutors.
In a small number of instances, it may not be possible to make a decision based on an application alone. In these cases, you will be invited to attend an interview in-person or by video call. Your invitation email will contain full details of the interview and anything you may need to prepare.
Application outcome
Once your application has been reviewed and interview completed (if applicable), you will receive one of the following application outcomes:
- a formal offer of a place
- a place on the waiting list, if the programme is already full
- an unsuccessful notification
All decisions will be communicated by email.
If you do receive an offer, we encourage all successful applicants to secure their place by returning their acceptance and deposit as soon as possible.
