Application Requirements

These requirements are for the following MA programmes:

  • MA Content Creation & Production
  • MA Fashion & Beauty Communication
  • MA International Luxury Business
  • MA International Luxury Business (Online)

Academic Entry Requirements

UK applicants should ideally hold an undergraduate degree at a 2.2 classification or above in a related subject. However, applicants with an undergraduate degree in an unrelated subject who can demonstrate a commitment to and an understanding of the course subject are strongly encouraged to apply.

International applicants should hold qualifications equivalent to an international undergraduate degree that is equivalent to a 2.2 classification (or a 2.7 GPA) or above in a related subject. If you have any questions about academic entry qualifications, please contact the Admissions Team.

Required Documentation

All applicants must apply online. A complete application includes:

  • Academic transcripts/mark sheets: from all undergraduate and postgraduate institutions attended.

    • Unofficial copies are sufficient for the application process and for issuing decisions.

    • All documents not in English, whether official or unofficial, must be certified and translated into English.

    • Diplomas cannot be used as a substitute for transcripts/mark sheets.

  • Final Official Transcripts: Required prior to enrolment (or for CAS issuance for Student Route Visa applicants).

    • Documents are considered final and official only when sent directly from the awarding institution and include the conferral date.

    • Official transcripts can be sent to admissions@voguecollege.com.

Age Requirement

Applicants must be aged 18 or over on 1 September of the academic year in which the programme commences.

Reference letters and Curriculum vitae or résumé

As part of your application, please provide two references from academic or professional contacts. If you graduated more than two years ago and are no longer in touch with your undergraduate faculty, two professional references are also acceptable.

We also ask for a current CV, including a brief summary of your career, qualifications, and education – your opportunity to showcase your experience and achievements.

Application Review

Once we’ve received your application and any supplemental materials, we’ll begin reviewing it. You may then be invited to a 20-30 minute online interview with a member of our faculty – this is also a great chance to learn more about your programme and the Vogue College of Fashion community.

After your interview, we aim to get back to you with a decision within two working days.

Portfolio & Personal Statement

Digital Portfolio Guidelines

Applicants are required to submit a digital portfolio that showcases both creative talent and intellectual acumen. The portfolio should include the following components:

1. Two Written Pieces (600–800 words each)

These should focus on relevant topics in fashion or media. You may submit an existing piece of writing on any subject or create new work addressing one of the following topics:

  • Fashion Shows: Consider their relevance today and their future in a more sustainable era. Do they belong to the past? Are they still a valid way to promote and showcase fashion? What might the future of fashion shows look like in a sustainability-focused world?
  • The Role and Purpose of Print Magazines in 2026/27: Explore the significance of print magazines in the modern media landscape. What function do they serve today, and how do they coexist with digital media?
  • Avoid using AI. While it can help you organise your thoughts and improve your writing, pieces created with AI often end up sounding very similar. Your writing doesn’t have to be perfect – it’s more important that it reflects who you are and is written in your own voice.

2. Two Creative Pieces

Creative submissions may include photography, videography, styling, creative writing, illustration, or other artistic work that reflects your personal vision and aesthetic.

Portfolio Format

  • The portfolio should ideally be submitted as a single PDF document.
  • Alternatively, web, blog, or video portfolios are accepted; in this case, include a document with a link to the portfolio.

Portfolio Goals
Your submission should demonstrate:

  • Intellectual and creative abilities
  • Originality and vision
  • Commitment to fashion, media, and the luxury lifestyle sector

This portfolio is your opportunity to showcase work that reflects your creative vision, academic interests, and professional aspirations. We encourage you to be innovative, authentic, and ambitious in your submissions.

Personal Statement

As part of your application to our postgraduate programmes, we ask you to submit a 1000-word personal statement. This is your chance to share your passion for fashion, explain why Vogue College of Fashion is the right fit for you, and describe how this programme will help you achieve your future career goals. Let your enthusiasm and vision shine through!

Avoid using AI. Your personal statement doesn’t need to be perfect — it just needs to be your own voice. Focus on sharing your passions, experiences, and who you are. That’s what really makes your application stand out.

International Requirements

For international applicants to the master’s programmes, we will consider a range of entry qualifications. Equivalent qualifications are assessed in accordance with recognised UK qualification frameworks and credential evaluation guidance. Where necessary, we may undertake additional qualification verification, including comparison against UK qualification frameworks.

Certified translations of documents not in English may be required. We may also request that you provide a statement of comparability from UK ENIC for certain qualifications.

International applicants requiring Student visa sponsorship must meet all academic, English language, immigration and deposit requirements before a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) can be issued.

Meeting academic entry requirements does not guarantee the issuance of a CAS or the grant of a Student visa.

English Language Requirements

English language evidence requirements are assessed in accordance with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) and College admissions requirements where applicable. 

International applicants are required to demonstrate proficiency in English at CEFR Level B2. Test result certificates must accompany applications and are required for all international students (EU included).

You can meet this requirement with a Secure English Language Tests (SELT). Below, please find the minimum required scores for our most commonly submitted English Language assessments:

  • TOEFL (IBT): 90 overall, with a minimum of 19 in Reading, 19 in Writing, 19 in Listening, and 19 in Speaking
  • Pearson (PTE) Academic: 59 overall and in all components

Please contact the Admissions Team for guidance if you are planning to take (or have completed) another test.

If you are from, or have completed a qualification in, a majority English-speaking country, you may be exempt from the need to provide additional evidence of your English language ability. Please see the UK Government guidance here.
