How to Apply & Programme Talks, Friday 24 October

How to Apply & Programme Talks are a chance to hear from staff and students in greater detail about specific programmes, as well as tips on applying to art school and developing a strong portfolio.

Please note that sometimes these talks can be very busy. If we need to limit numbers for a particular talk, we may ask that potential applicants only attend. Guests are welcome to get a cup of coffee at the Students' Association on Scott Street throughout the day.
