Found a course that you'd like to apply for?
Apply directly to Foundation
If you're applying for our Foundation course or our International Foundation Diploma (IFD) you should apply to us directly online.
How to Make a Direct Application
Step 1: Complete Application
To join us next year, you will have to apply for a Foundation course directly. Start an application by selecting your course below:
- Foundation Diploma in Art and Design
- Foundation Diploma in Art and Design (Media)
- International Foundation Diploma
Don’t forget to include all the qualifications that you have and are currently taking in your application.
Your personal statement is your chance to tell us why you want to study at AUB. We want to know why you’re interested in the course, what the key influences on your work are and what you hope to do after your studies.
Step 2: Track Application
Once we've received your application, we’ll send you an email with your login details for our MyApplication portal. You can use this to track the progress of your application.
If we need more information from you, we’ll be in touch. Please get in touch with us if you'd like an update on your application.
Step 3: Interview
Due to Covid-19 and the need for social distance, we won't be able to offer on-campus interviews to applicants this cycle. For courses that require a portfolio review or an audition Admissions will be in touch with you and request a digital portfolio or audition.
We'll hold Offer Holder days in Spring and invite applicants to visit the campus and meet the course team, or if you're unable to visit us you'll be able to attend a virtual Offer Holder Day.
Step 4: Accept your Offer
You can view and accept the offer via MyApplication – before you meet the conditions. We ask you to respond to your offer as soon as you can and we’ll expect a reply before the end of the Summer Term.
Once you've accepted your offer, we’ll be in regular contact via email and MyApplication to give you information about accommodation, your visa application (if applicable) and your arrival.
When you receive your exam results, you’ll need to email our Admissions team with a copy of your official results (this can be a scan, photocopy, or an image). We’ll send you an email to remind you of this.
You’ll receive a Welcome Guide in August with all the information you need to start your course. If you’re joining us from outside the UK, we’ll also send you details of our Orientation Programme.
If you change your mind about studying for a Foundation course, you can cancel your acceptance within the cancellation period of 14 days.
