- Portfolio and interview advice:
- Your portfolio should demonstrate a range of skills appropriate to the subject area, containing examples of work completed within recent years, whether for a college project or personal work. It’s important that the work you include reflects your engagement in creative practice, critical thinking and technical abilities and also that you include evidence of background research (e.g. sketchbooks, preliminary work, written material).
- Ideas, visual research and experimentation are more important than finished work and can be shown in the form of two-dimensional work, made objects, photographs or through recorded moving image/live events.
- Pathway choices are considered during the admissions process. We therefore advise you to describe any specific interests you have in your personal statement, taking into account the descriptions of the programme pathways we offer (see Structure). These interests or preferences will also inform the selection and presentation of your work.
