Applications will then be considered by a Goldsmiths University Of London awarding panel. All panel members understand that applicants will have a broad range of differing skills, attributes and experiences, so they will give equal consideration to both the applicant’s academic record and their answers to the questions posed in the award application form.
Panel members also understand that what is important is the content of the answers and their relevance to the questions, not the standard of writing.
