I am an American wanting to study photography. Any information you can offer is appreciated. As in the US, there are art schools, and art programs within universities, at a variety of levels of competitiveness in the UK. While, for example, St. Martins is highly competitive (think RISD), other schools are far less so. You need to analyze your own work, and determine which art programs in the UK would be the best fit for you, and then apply.
Know that going to university or art school in the UK will likely be more expensive than if you'd attended a similarly ranked school at home. That's because even if the sticker price is the same or less for a UK program, you won't be eligible for US financial aid. There will be some loans, and your university may offer a scholarship for international students, for which you can apply, but in general, you're expected to be fully self supporting if you attend a school as an international student. I'm still in Primary. I'm not ready for THAT level yet. |
