How to prepare a great creative portfolio

Thursday 4 June 2020 13:15
Open to all

Summary

When students apply to a creative art and design course in the UK, it is very likely they will be asked to submit a creative portfolio. A portfolio is a window into the student’s world through which the universities can see their skills, personality, and potential. This session will explore the practicalities and importance of creating a great portfolio, and look at the content and format admissions tutors are looking for. Using real examples, we’ll explore how to develop and tailor the portfolio to your students’ advantage.

  • Know what to include in a portfolio and how best to present it.
