Central Saint Martins Fashion Design personal statement
UAL's Central Saint Martins Fashion Design: Womenswear course asks for the UCAS personal statement first. Applicants who meet initial requirements may then be invited to submit a digital portfolio showing fashion research, theme development, and finished illustrations; some are invited to interview.
Writing format
Three-question UCAS statement and an invited digital portfolio
What to prepare
- 1Use the UCAS subject-interest question to explain the fashion design problem or theme that keeps you making work.
- 2For the preparation question, connect studies to a design decision or technique visible in your work.
- 3For experience beyond education, describe practice, research, or making that changed your approach to womenswear design.
How to approach the writing
- Keep all three UCAS answers within the combined 4,000-character limit and ensure they still fit any other courses on your application.
- If invited to submit a portfolio, follow the course's 25-page limit and its specified research, sketch, and finished-illustration sections.
Before you submit
The course page says 2026/27 applications are closed and 2027/28 applications open in autumn 2026. Confirm the new intake's deadline and PebblePad instructions before submission.
