on our course. Therefore, if you request an alternative date,
unfortunately there is no guarantee that we will be able to offer you one, as
the subsequent dates may already be fully booked. We do understand that
it is not always possible for applicants to attend, so we will do our best to
accommodate you if you do need another date, but cannot guarantee that one will
be available. So to avoid disappointment, please do endeavour to attend
the date that you have been offered.
You can request an alternative date through the Applicant Portal – Your login instructions have been sent to you separately.

You are welcome to bring children to the interview/test day
but they must be accompanied by another adult. UEL staff cannot look after
children while your interview/test is taking place and children must not be
left unaccompanied anywhere on UEL premises. It is not appropriate for children
to be in the interview with you as this would limit the ability for both you
and the interviewer to hold an open conversation about future studies at UEL;
similarly, children are not permitted in test/exam environments.
We will notify you of the outcome of your interview through
your UCAS Track or we will send you an email with our decision. If you receive
a place at UEL you will be required to accept/decline your place as per UCAS
deadlines/the deadline in your email.
As part of its commitment to inclusive practice, the
University of East London has put a number of anticipatory and reasonable
adjustments in place that are available to all students, including those with
learning and physical disabilities. If you require a reasonable
adjustment as part of the audition/interview selection process, please
contact Robert Nicholson (Senior Lecturer in Dance) –
