How the university evaluates applicants

The University of Goldsmith does not make admissions decisions conventionally because UCAS focuses on actual academic talents. However, it is still essential to describe every one of your skills because the institution uses a thorough approach to review applications for admission. You may occasionally be taking a combination of skills, such as two A-levels and one BTEC Level 3 or one A-level and a Cambridge Pre-U, and they encourage sensible combinations in this regard.
