Our students come from diverse national and international backgrounds, but a typical profile would include successful experience of creative practical work in at least one of the media that we teach on the course – moving image (film and video), interactive media or photography.

Additionally we seek evidence of critical thinking (through written work), as well as broader skills in ideas-generation, organisation, initiative and team working. We normally invite all applicants to attend an interview, and ask them to bring a portfolio of appropriate work (practical and written). The interview also gives you an opportunity to confirm that Contemporary Media Practice is the right course for you.

Most applicants achieve this profile through formal qualifications in Art, Design or Media subjects. However, a significant number of our students are able to show either professional media experience (as mature applicants), or can demonstrate the relevance of other discipline skills, experience and qualifications.

In all cases we are seeking evidence of an applicant’s interest in the subject area, and more specifically in the cross-media character of the course.

Entry requirements

The normal minimum qualifications entitling an applicant to be considered for admission to the course are as outlined in the University of Westminster's Undergraduate Prospectus.

We typically make offers to applicants based on the achievement of A - Level, VCE Double Award or BTEC qualifications equivalent to a minimum of 180 UCAS tariff points.

We normally invite all applicants to attend an interview, and ask them to bring a portfolio of appropriate work (practical and written). Overseas applicants may be permitted to send in a portfolio of work, and may then be interviewed by phone.
