Once we receive your application form through UCAS, we will email confirmation that we have received it and will give you access and instructions for logging into the applicant portal.
Track your application via the Norwich applicant portal
For most courses, we will ask applicants to submit a portfolio, so that we can review your work and find out more about your creative potential. You can choose to attend a portfolio review on campus or online, or you can submit a digital portfolio. All the information for booking the reviews will be within the portal.
For our Acting course we will ask you to attend an audition which you will be able to book through the portal.
If the course you have applied for does not require a portfolio or an audition, we will assess your UCAS application and let you know our decision.
Check the portfolio guidance section (link) for further information.
Our decision
In assessing an applicant’s potential, the University considers an applicant’s ability to succeed on the chosen course. Our decision will be communicated via UCAS. If successful, you will receive either a conditional or unconditional offer. You can find out about the types of offers from the UCAS website.
If your application is unsuccessful, the University will communicate the decision via UCAS. The University experiences high volumes of applications resulting in competition for places. Regrettably, this means that we are sometimes unable to make offers to or accept a number of well qualified applicants. Under these circumstances where a rejection is made because of capacity, we may make you an offer for an alternative course.
Keep an eye out for our communications
Over the course of your applicant journey we will ask you to upload documents to your applicant portal such as certificates or proof of identification.
We would always advise that you also regularly check your portal for these requests to avoid any delay in processing your application. We may send information or make requests via email. On occasion we may text you to remind you of an outstanding task or to inform you of an update.
Applicant events
Once you’ve applied, you will be invited to online and in person applicant events. These events are invite-only and give you an opportunity to meet prospective course teams, your future classmates, and take part in group activities.
