<p dir="ltr">Once you’ve submitted a portfolio, we aim to review it within 10 days of receiving it, and you will be informed of the outcome via <a href="https://www.ucas.com/dashboard"><strong>UCAS Hub</strong></a>. Once your portfolio is reviewed, your offer will be updated to one of the following:<br /></p><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Unconditional</strong> — you have a guaranteed place with us</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Conditional</strong> — the portfolio submission criteria has been met, but additional specific requirements need to be met (e.g exam results)</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Unsuccessful</strong> — unfortunately, no offer has been made this time</p></li></ul> <p dir="ltr">If we require any further information to help us make a decision on your application, our admissions team will get in touch via email and phone. In some instances, our academic team may want to talk to you about your portfolio to help them make their decision and we will get in contact to organise this discussion.<br /></p>

<p dir="ltr">Once you’ve heard back from all of your UCAS choices, it’s time to decide which offer you would like to make your first choice, and which to choose as a second “insurance” choice.
