Portfolio Guidance
Your portfolio is one of the most important parts of your application. It is your opportunity to show us your work, and our opportunity to find out more about you. You may not have presented your work before, so here is some guidance with preparing your portfolio.
What do you want to see in my portfolio?
Your portfolio should demonstrate a lively, inventive approach to the development of creative or computing projects. As well as school and college projects you can include your own self-initiated work. It should be carefully selected as this will show us your skill and abilities, and most importantly your vision. Your portfolio should clearly demonstrate the development of your ideas and their range. It might include sketches, mood boards, videos of programs you have made, photographs, creative writing, storyboards, outlines of game, app or project ideas. A clear demonstration of creative and practical process are the main focus of the portfolio review.
How many pieces should I include?
We would suggest a maximum of 25 pieces of work, including sketchbooks. Your work should have been produced within the past two years, although earlier work can be included if it is particularly relevant to your interests and development.
Will I be expected to have an in‐depth knowledge of programming skills?
We have no expectation of prior programming experience, although, as programming is an integral part of the degree, some past experience is desirable and will strengthen your application.
Information for Mature students
We understand that mature students may not have work that is structured in the same way as A-Level or Foundation students. We are, however, still interested in seeing self-initiated work, including sketchbooks and finished pieces. Work-based creative or computing experience can be included. We also understand that some applicants may wish to include work that is over two years old – but make sure that you include as much recent work as possible in your portfolio.
Top Tip
- Tailor your portfolio to the course you are applying to. Investigate the Creative Computing programme thoroughly before making your selection for your portfolio. Remember that courses with the same name at different universities can vary greatly.
We'll aim to process your application within 2 to 6 weeks, but this will depend on when it is submitted. Applications submitted in January, particularly near to the UCAS equal consideration deadline, might take substantially longer to be processed due to the high volume received at that time.
Equality and diversity
We treat and select everyone in line with our Equality and Diversity Statement.
