Guidance for your portfolio
We are interested in seeing 10-15 examples of your best work. These should represent what you have been working on at school, college or in your personal time. We love to see drawings and your ideas, but we are most interested in what you want to show us which may be photography, art, textiles, graphic design, or fashion. Each image you submit may contain multiple images of your work, if you wish.
Please be aware that we cannot accept photographic work containing nudity as part of your application. The University recognises that creative work can seek to deliberately challenge and provoke and is supportive of such endeavours where this is carried out in an ethically aware and sensitive manner, but is not able to support these considerations for work that is generated prior to applying to the University.
