Our admissions process and criteria may differ slightly depending on the student’s age and whether they wish to join us for Year 9, GCSE, A Level or Foundation stage.
- A-level: an interview with the Principal and Head, satisfactory GCSE results, and a satisfactory reference from a previous school.
 - GCSE: a successful interview with the Principal and Head and an academic reference from a previous school.
 - Foundation Course: an interview with the Principal and Head; a portfolio assessed by the Art department. International students will need a minimum 4.0 IELTS score.
 
Interviews continue all year but an early application is advised to secure a place and to ensure the widest choice of subject options.
Hampstead Fine Arts College holds a license to sponsor visas for international students.
