Kanye West has reportedly applied to study a Masters degree in fashion at London university, Central Saint Martins College. The rapper apparently flew to the UK on Wednesday to meet with the head of the course to be interviewed for a place. Kanye already has work experience with Fendi and Louis Vuitton on his CV.

It should be noted that Kanye does not poses an undergraduate degree in any field…which is a mandatory perquisite to any post graduate academic pursuit. How is he going to blag this one?
