I didn’t score very well in my 12th, but I’m passionate about media and content creation. I want to study a Bachelor’s in Creative Media in UK. Are there universities or foundation programs that can help me get in despite my low grades?
Absolutely, that’s a common scenario, and the good news is that there are pathways for students who don’t have strong academic scores but are passionate and motivated. In the UK, many universities offering creative media or related courses have foundation programs or preparatory diplomas designed specifically for students whose grades may not meet direct entry requirements. These programs usually last one year and focus on building your academic skills, subject knowledge, and portfolio, preparing you to enter the full bachelor’s program the following year.
Some universities also consider your creative potential and portfolio more heavily than your grades. If you have personal projects, digital content, short films, or media work, these can strengthen your application significantly. Universities like University of the Arts London (UAL), Kingston University, and Bournemouth University have flexible entry routes through foundation programs or access courses, particularly for creative disciplines.
So even if your 12th-grade scores are not very high, you still have a clear pathway into a Creative Media degree in the UK, especially if you can demonstrate your passion and commitment.
We can help you identify suitable foundation programs and universities, guide you on portfolio preparation, and map out the full pathway so you can get into a bachelor’s in Creative Media without letting your grades hold you back.
