UCA Prospectus 2020

Page 226

Should I include projects that haven’t been successful? Showcase your relevant strengths and feel free to include pieces that are experimental or may not have worked as you expected them to. Keep in mind that we’ll be looking for quality over quantity too. We want to see your passion and commitment to your chosen area of study. It’s important that you tailor your portfolio to the course you’re applying for, so that you include work that demonstrates the skills and techniques that will be required if you’re made an offer. We’ll provide advice on what to include in your portfolio when we send you your Applicant Day invite or when we ask you to upload your portfolio. Show us that you enjoy the discipline – we’d like to know if you’ve worked on independent projects in your own time and taken inspiration from sources outside of education. And, very importantly, you must be able to talk about each piece in your portfolio, if required.

Do all courses require a portfolio? Not all of our courses require a portfolio as part of your application – see individual course pages of this prospectus or search the course pages of our website for more details. Even if you’re not asked to supply a portfolio, if you have creative work you’d like to share with us, we’d love to see it and understand more about you and your interests. Do I need to submit my portfolio digitally? We do accept digital portfolios via our online portfolio upload system for applicants who are based outside the UK or cannot attend an interview, or for UK applicants who are unable to travel to an Applicant Day. The online portfolio upload system, which is available in the Applicant Portal, allows you to upload images, or links to external websites such as Flickr and YouTube. We ask that all digital portfolios are submitted via this system (we don’t accept portfolios via email), as there is no size limit and you can add a description for each piece of work you upload. We’ll confirm whether we need to see a physical or digital portfolio after we’ve received your application.
