This guide has been produced by Rebecca Loweth and Lea Collet with funding from UCL Access and Widening Participation. Rebecca and Lea are both artists working at the Slade, who graduated from the Slade’s postgraduate programme in 2015. They are interested in art education and widening participation. With this document they seek to provide a comprehensive guide that provides support and advice for students who would like to apply to art school. This guide also explores what it is like to study at art school and career opportunities after study.

Thanks to admission tutors: Kate Bright, David Burrows, Jack Strange and Carey Young for their contribution. Thanks to Sarah Fortais on her contribution.

Thanks to Taylor Smith for the illustrations and David Lovelock for the design on the guide.
