* Portfolio: This is the most crucial aspect of your application. The quality and content of your portfolio will heavily influence your chances of acceptance far more than UCAS points.
* Personal Statement: A strong personal statement demonstrating your passion, skills, and understanding of the course is essential.
* Interview (often): Many courses will invite applicants for an interview to assess their potential and suitability.
While some courses might state minimum UCAS points as a guide (often for those applying with less traditional qualifications), relying solely on UCAS points is misleading. Focus on building a strong portfolio and crafting a compelling application that demonstrates your abilities and suitability for your chosen course at CSM. Check the specific entry requirements for *your chosen course* on the CSM website for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
