If you're applying for our Foundation course, you should apply to us directly online.
To continue an unfinished AUB application, you need to go to our Application System.
To join us next year, you'll have to apply for a Foundation course directly.
Applications to the Foundation Diploma in Art, Design and Media for September 2025 entry are now open.
Once we've received your application, we’ll email you with your login details for the AUB applicant portal. You can use this to track the progress of your application.
If you don't get our email with your login details within two working days of applying then please check your junk/spam folders first. If there is nothing in there then email us and we can check we have received your application and help you to log in.
If we need more information from you, we’ll be in touch. Any emails we send we'll normally copy to the AUB applicant portal so you can see if we've been emailing you by logging in.
If the initial assessment of your application is successful, Admissions will be in touch with you to request a link to your online portfolio.
You can find out more about what we're looking for to prepare by looking at our Portfolio guidelines
You can view your offer letter and accept the offer via the AUB Applicant Portal – you don't need to meet the conditions of your offer to accept it! 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.
If you're a home fee payer and will be over 19 at the start of your course then you can find your Learning and Funding Information in your offer letter on the AUB Applicant Portal.
Once you've accepted your offer, we’ll be in regular contact via email and the AUB Applicant Portal 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 email you to remind you of this.
You’ll receive links to Welcome Information in the Summer 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 let us know by email. Please include your full name, AUB ID and your course in the email so we can help you quickly.
