Key Offers Information
As a top‑ranked institution (2nd in the world for Art and Design according to the QS World University Rankings 2025: Art and Design), admission to the University of the Arts London’s (UAL) six colleges is highly competitive, especially for its most prestigious courses. We are proud to share that 88 students from CSVPA’s Extended Diploma and Foundation Diploma Art & Design courses have received a total of 135 offers to UAL undergraduate courses, with many students holding more than one offer to a UAL college or degree course.
Students have received offers from all six of the UAL colleges, including nine offers from the highly competitive Central Saint Martins, 36 offers from London College of Fashion and 38 from the London College of Communication.
Furthermore, for all eight of our Extended Diploma and Foundation Diploma Art & Design pathways, an impressive majority of our students have received at least one offer to a UAL college*.
- 100% of Extended Diploma & Foundation Diploma students on the Fashion Communication pathway received an offer from UAL.
- 86% of Foundation Diploma students on the Architecture & Interior Design pathway received an offer from UAL.
- 84% of Extended Diploma & Foundation Diploma students on the Fashion Design pathway received an offer from UAL.
- 80% of Extended Diploma & Foundation Diploma students on the Film & Animation pathway received an offer from UAL.
For certain UAL undergraduate courses, CSVPA students have achieved a remarkable 100% offer rate, meaning that every student who applied to these courses received an offer. An exceptional accomplishment, particularly given the highly competitive nature of admissions to these programmes.
With 198 offers from several of the QS World Top 50 Universities for Art and Design, it is clear that CSVPA students have impressed admissions officers with their eye-catching and high-quality portfolios. Students have achieved offers at the following top 50 global universities for art and design:
- 135 offers from the University of the Arts London – ranked 2nd in the world for art and design

Additionally, students have received 12 offers in total from The University of Edinburgh, University of Leeds and University of Southampton, which all feature in the QS Top 100 Global Universities.
This wealth of offers reflects not only the calibre of our students’ work, but also the dedicated support, expert guidance and personalised tuition they receive as they develop their artistic talents throughout their time at CSVPA.
We wish the CSVPA Class of 2025 well on their next educational adventure and look forward to sharing more information about their UAL results later this year.
