About UAL Awarding Body

UAL Awarding Body began in 2007 with the goal of improving creative education in the UK and supporting the next generation of ambitious creatives. Initially focused on the Level 3 and 4 Diploma in Art and Design – Foundation Studies (FAD) qualification – we have since expanded to work UK-wide across a full range of pre-degree subjects and levels. We are recognised and regulated by Ofqual, CCEA and Qualifications Wales.

UAL Awarding Body currently has over 70,000 learners registered in its qualifications and works with more than 350 centres. 

These centres are primarily Further Education colleges, sixth forms, universities, schools and private institutions in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and internationally.
