Welcome to The GSA Pre-enrolment Gateway 2025/26

On this site you will find welcome information for GSA applicants and offer holders in 2025 for entry to academic session 2025/26.

Academic programmes and Professional Service departments across the GSA have provided information that we hope you will find interesting and useful to help you prepare and plan ahead for joining us at The Glasgow School of Art.

The information this site contains is as far as possible up to date at the time of publication (January 2025). We will be adding additional information as it becomes available from now until the start of Semester 1 in September, so do check back often for updates.

We look forward to welcoming you in person to The Glasgow School of Art.
