The Prince's Drawing School

Drawing helps you to put your thoughts in order. It can make
you think different ways.

Applicants will usually have completed a BA degree in Fine Art
or a related subject, but this is not essential. Applicants fill out
an application form, submit a portfolio of work and should be prepared to be interviewed if short listed.

Drawing Year students attend a weekly forum

Information for non UK passport holders:

Nationals of an EEA country (European Union plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) or Switzerland: can enter the UK as a student with a minimum of formality; you do not require entry clearance or a visa. You may be asked to show evidence that you have been accepted on to a course, and that you have sufficient funds to support yourself whilst in the UK. You will also need your passport.

Nationals of all other countries: As of March 2009, The Prince’s Drawing School will not be able to sponsor students from outside the EEA. This is because The Prince’s Drawing School, as an independent school, will not have a UK Border Agency Tier 4 License. However, there may be unusual circumstances wherein non-EEA nationals are eligible for visas which do allow for study. It is the responsibility of interested applicants to check with local UK immigration authorities.
