Art and design portfolios and interviews

A portfolio is an important part of your application for an art and design course. It is a collection of your work to give the tutors an idea of what you can do and assess if you are suitable for the course.

We've put together some helpful tips to make the most of your portfolio. Afterwards, MDX students Jad and Sahar tell you about preparing your portfolio and how to do your best at your visual arts interview. Find out what they enjoyed about their experience and why you will too.

You can also watch a recording of our Facebook Live webinar on creating your portfolio.
