If you have any questions about learning online or if you need help with what to buy, get in touch at hello@escapestudios.ac.uk.

We highly encourage everyone to attend a taster session (or several!) ahead of starting a course to get a better idea of the course and make sure it’s suited to you.

To apply for one of our short courses, you can complete an online application form, found on the relevant course page on our website. We will get in touch to take you through the next steps.

Spaces are limited and booked on a first come first served basis. We advise you to book in advance, ideally three months ahead, to make sure you save your spot on the course. We usually close applications around two weeks before the course start date.

As part of the application process, you will need to agree to our terms and conditions for your place on the course to be secured.

Fee information

Please see individual course pages for up to date tuition fees.

To secure your place on a postgraduate programme, you will need to pay a deposit. This is usually £500 for our short courses. The evening online course deposits vary by course length and cost. Please email admissions@escapestudios.ac.uk for evening online course-specific information.

Payment plans

We offer payment plan options for all courses, offering up to three payment instalments. Following an initial deposit at registration stage, your chosen payment plan will break down your remaining fees into instalments to be paid before the end of the course.
