Find out how to prepare your portfolio for the MA Graphic Design and Typography course at Cambridge School of Art.
Your portfolio should show that you have graduate-level competence in graphic design or a related subject, and evidence of enquiry and experimentation that will show you can develop through postgraduate study. The precise content of your portfolio is up to you.
If your portfolio includes digital works, you should provide these as pdf or Powerpoint files, and any films as MP4s, saved on USB memory sticks or external hard drives. Your web and interactive work must run automatically in a browser or be available on a live domain/website. If your digital work does not open or run, then we cannot take it into account during the interview process. If it is an essential part of your portfolio you may be asked to provide alternative work through the post by a specified date.
You may deliver your portfolio digitally as a website portfolio or PDF document. We can’t accept USB or CDs in the post. All websites and file transfer services are acceptable but, in case you need suggestions, some of the more popular ones are listed below*. If your portfolio is a PDF please include your name and the course you want to study in the file name and on the PDF.
For any questions regarding this or any other aspect of the admissions process please contact your admissions officer. We look forward to receiving your portfolio.
*Previously used websites for transferring online portfolios include: Behance, Flickr, Deviantart, Carbonmade, Indexedit, Wordpress, Blogger, Blogspot, Dropbox, WeTransfer, Crevado.
