When to apply
Foundation Diploma in Art and Design
In order to guarantee that your application will be considered it must reach the Admissions department by 25 January 2023 (the previous deadline of 15 January has been extended this year by UCAS).
Applications received after 25 January 2023 will be considered on a first come first served basis according to availability.
Extended Diploma in Creative Practice
Whilst there is no formal deadline for applications for these courses, we recommend submitting as soon as possible as demand is very high.
If you need any assistance completing your application, please contact the Admissions team at admissions@leeds-art.ac.uk.
Whilst we hope to get a decision to you within four weeks of receiving your application, please note that the current pandemic may affect our ability to meet that timeline.
