Å·ÃÀ¾ÞÈé

If you applying to study a postgraduate course within the Å·ÃÀ¾ÞÈé School of Art & Design, you may be required to submit a portfolio of your creative work to help us progress your application. Your digital portfolio is a great way to showcase your passion for your chosen subject area and for us to learn more about you.

Things to consider when developing your postgraduate portfolio:

• Your portfolio submission should enable us to learn more about your individual creative practice and what motivates and stimulates your interest in your subject area
• We are keen to see how you develop your concepts and ideas and how you use this work to inform your creative development and final project outcomes
• Evidence of your initial creative ideas from sketch/ideas books that demonstrate visual research and the breadth of sources you have used for initial visual investigation
• It is essential to include development work that demonstrates your personal working methodology. It should show us how you have taken the initial ideas and visual research from your sketchbooks and developed these ideas. We need to see how you creatively problem solve through analysis and evaluation of visual information
• We need to see evidence that you understand the creative development process within your subject area and can demonstrate the translation of ideas from initial concepts through the development stages of a project to the final product application
• Final project work that has been fully resolved and demonstrates your understanding of your creative practice within a contemporary context is extremely important
• It is important that you carefully consider how you visually present your portfolio and that it is clearly organised and structured. It should communicate effectively to your selected audience
• We want to see innovative, original work that is exciting and demonstrates your depth of thought and engagement with your individual practice.
