We recognise a breadth of qualifications; speak to one of our advisers today to find out how we can help you.
No portfolio will be required if the academic qualifications in the subject area as defined above are met.
If a portfolio is required it should feature a maximum of approximately 10-15 examples of work or three to four projects undertaken within the past two years. These should be substantial, in-depth projects which demonstrate your ability to conceptualise solutions to creative problems and to assimilate and combine written language or content with visuals. This will clearly demonstrate the level of creative, craft and production skills you have achieved, either in a previous course of study, in a professional design studio, as a freelance designer or during an internship.
Projects should ideally be accompanied by a brief summary of the work or projects, notes on the software used, and dated.
