Undergraduate entry
Qualifications for entry for each of the undergraduate courses are indicated in the UCAS entry profiles described with the information about courses on the UCAS website and on the material about each course on the University's website.
Postgraduate options
A Master of Philosophy (MPhil) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is achieved through an individual research project in a programme of study agreed with the Director of Studies. A master's degree in an appropriate subject is considered to be a particularly valuable preparation for a research degree, although the normal minimum entry requirement for a research degree is an upper second class honours degree of a British University or recognised institution of higher education.
University of the Arts London encourages a range of research degree registrations based on creative practice, theoretical/historical analysis and experimental work. The subject range of the University means that students can follow programmes of study in which creative work can form a significant part of the intellectual enquiry. Such work may be undertaken in any appropriate field and should be set within its theoretical, critical or design context. Where practical or creative work forms part of the submission for the award of MPhil or PhD, the submission must include evidence of research through practice and, where appropriate, the examination may also include an exhibition, or other presentation, of the student’s work. A research degree may be taken in any subject area where the University can provide appropriately qualified supervision.
