From British Council:

Drawing materials including colour pencils are the tools needed for a creative workshop with University of the Arts London (UAL) held by the British Council on 13 and 15 February in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City respectively.

The workshop is suitable for A-Level students, as well as Undergraduate and Postgraduate applicants, interested in portfolio/praxis-based art and design courses or non-portfolio based creative courses.

University of the Arts London (UAL) is one of the world’s most prominent Universities for studying art, design, fashion, communications and performing arts. The University has produced some of the world’s finest artists and actors including recent Oscar winner Colin Firth, James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan, ad-agency founder Charles Saatchi and fashion designers Sir Paul Smith and John Galliano.

The reputation of UAL is also assured thanks to its constituent colleges – the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and London College of Communication. Both are included in the lists of the world’s best art and design colleges by Business Week.

Participating in the creative workshop, say organisers, will bring you a great chance to learn more about the university, facilities and courses offered by the UAL and perhaps the secret of why the University has produced so many talented and world-renowned artists and creators. More importantly, the participants will have the opportunity to meet Colin Kerrigan, Deputy Director of the International Centre at UAL to hear how they can pursue their dream and build their careers with the UAL.

Renowned as a centre of innovation and excellence, UAL is Europe’s largest specialist art and design University with six distinct Colleges:

•   Camberwell College of Arts                      •   Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design
•   Chelsea College of Art and Design         •   London College of Communication
•   London College of Fashion                       •   Wimbledon College of Art

UAL has over 20,000 students from more than 100 countries studying a broad range of courses, from further education through to undergraduate, post graduate and research degrees, across a spectrum of art and design disciplines.

The creative workshop with University of the Arts London entitled ‘A human sanctuary in the heart of the city’ will be held by the British Council Vietnam at Norfolk Hotel (in HCMC) and Movenpick Hotel (Hanoi). After the events, promising students may get the chance to be interviewed by UAL representatives for either Foundation or Undergraduate studying opportunities. Art portfolios should be brought to the interview.
