Catalyst

Finding a new 'home away from home' takes time and a fair amount of preparation. Once you've made an application to Catalyst, you'll gain access to student groups where the community also posts about rooms on their radar or available spots in their own WG (shared apartment). Start as soon as possible and aim for a long term solution.

Catalyst is a progressive education institute. One key component of progressive education is 'learning by doing'. Catalyst's facilities are built with one thing in mind: maximising ‘hands on’ access to DOING what you love. That means +31 studios for music and film production, a professional film studio with two-sided infinity wall green screen and over 3000 bookable items, including instruments, microphones, synths, cameras, lights, leap motion controllers, AR headsets and much more, to use for both your academic and personal projects.

Catalyst is committed to making their courses as accessible as possible though they would not provide you with a place on a course that they didn't think you were capable of. Catalyst's short courses are the easiest to access and their HE Certificate and BA Hons Degree courses also have access routes for those students without the usual qualification levels required for entry (please visit their website for information on Mature and Non-standard applications).

Standard Entry
You should usually be aged 18 or over when you start your course AND have completed your formal schooling. If you're still in school you can apply with your current transcript and send us your certificate when you receive it.

Suitable certificates include:- A Level, Baccalaureate, International Baccalaureate, Abitur, BTEC National Diploma, GED (high school diploma), Scottish Highers, Diploma di Maturità, di Esame di Stato, Título de Bachillerato or other equivalents.

Practical and language requirements
Catalyst want you to demonstrate your passion for the subject. For direct entry onto these courses (Standard or Mature) you will need to provide them with practical evidence, meaning a submission of some original work from you.

Your level of English speaking will also be evaluated during the application process. You must be equivalent to IELTS level 6 - but they don't require a certificate of language ability.
