 North West School Of Design Application For Admission

HOW TO APPLY FOR A FULLTIME COURSE
You are welcome to apply online or come to the college where you can talk to lecturers and students and see for yourself what NWSD has to offer. We are also available on any academic day of the year to help you with the application and registration process.
If you need help with your application, please

Step 1 – Get the Prospectus

  • Once you have worked through our course offerings and you have established that you wish to apply for a Fulltime course, make sure to go through the course prospectus so that you are familiar with our admissions criteria, class schedules, subject structures and examination procedures.
  • At this stage it is not required to choose between the fulltime Fashion Design course or the fulltime Fashion Management course. All fulltime students register for the Fashion Design course. It is within your first semester of study (first six months) that you can decide to move over to the Fashion Management and Communication course. This will ensure that your decision is made only once you are more familiar with the fashion industry and that you will have a better understanding of the differences between the two courses.
  • If at this stage you are not sure about any aspect of the Course Prospectus, please email us, or give us a call to clarify.

  • The student number and registration confirmation letter will only be issued once the registration fee has been paid.
  • We have a reserve of 45 students for our 1st year group so make sure you apply ASAP so that your application can be processed as you can only pay your registration fee once you have been accepted in writing.
