Start with the official University of the Arts Singapore admissions page to understand the university and browse its routes. Then follow the link to the constituent college—LASALLE or NAFA—that offers the programme you want.
UAS is an alliance of LASALLE and NAFA, and each institution manages its own applications and admissions process. There is not one central UAS application form that automatically covers programmes at both colleges.
Check the exact programme, qualification level, intake and college before preparing your submission. Arts admissions may involve academic and English requirements together with a portfolio, audition, interview or other programme-specific assessment; never assume that every programme uses the same combination.
UAS admission source guide
Choose the right official source
| Start here | Use it for | Check immediately |
|---|---|---|
| UAS Admissions | University-level orientation, programme routes, fees and aid links | Which constituent college offers the programme |
| LASALLE Admissions | LASALLE requirements, application and programme pages | Qualification level and creative assessment |
| NAFA Admissions | NAFA requirements, application and programme pages | Programme, intake and submission instructions |
| UAS Admissions FAQ | Cross-university questions and routing | Whether the answer sends you to LASALLE or NAFA |
The UAS page is the map; the relevant LASALLE or NAFA programme page is the operational source. That programme page should control your checklist, deadlines, portfolio or audition instructions and submission channel.
Choose the programme before the application portal
Begin with the subject and qualification you want, then identify the college delivering it. Similar creative fields can have different programme titles, entry requirements and assessment formats. Read the curriculum and progression information before investing time in a portfolio or audition that belongs to a different programme.
For a wider comparison of local university routes, use eduKate’s current Singapore university admissions routes and the Singapore schools and universities directory. These are orientation pages; the college’s current admission page remains authoritative for the application.
Read the creative assessment as carefully as the grades
An academic threshold answers only part of the admission question. Where a programme asks for a portfolio, audition, interview, written task or references, use the exact format and instructions stated for that programme and intake. A portfolio suitable for one discipline may not demonstrate what another panel is asked to assess.
Check accepted qualifications, English-language evidence, file formats, size or duration limits, submission platform and interview arrangements. International applicants should also separate admission from immigration: after an offer, follow the institution and ICA instructions for any required Student’s Pass.
UAS application quick check
- Is the programme delivered by LASALLE or NAFA?
- Are you reading the correct diploma, bachelor’s or master’s requirements?
- Which academic, English and creative-assessment components apply?
- Is there an interview, audition or portfolio deadline separate from the form deadline?
- Does the applicant need a Student’s Pass after admission?
Take the next step
Shortlist the programme on the UAS site, open the matching constituent-college page, and build one checklist from that page only. Save a copy of the submitted application and creative materials. For document planning, continue with What documents do I need for university applications?
