If you’re applying for our BA Computer Games Art or BA Visual Effects, here’s some guidance on how to prepare your portfolio.
We want to see preferably 10-15 pieces that best represent your work interests, and show your passion, engagement, and curiosity, as well as an open mind.
More specifically, we’re looking for:
We'd like to see a selection of your creative ideas and projects. It could be a digital portfolio that showcases your interests and skills in the areas of either art, creative media, creative coding/scripting, film, animation, gaming, or design. You'll be given the option to book a meeting to discuss this with us.
Please upload your portfolio to the online portal. You’ll have been sent an email from the portal with instructions of how to do this. Check your junk mail and if you still can’t find emails from us please contact: [email protected] (home applications) or [email protected] (international applications).
This could be a PDF of your work saved to a file sharing site such as Google Drive, OneDrive or DropBox (convert to PDF using InDesign or Powerpoint if you don't have Adobe Acrobat), or a link to your personal portfolio website.
Please host any videos on a video sharing site such as YouTube or Vimeo – you can set them as 'unlisted' and just send us the links. If you're unable to share your video via a video sharing site, please use a file sharing service such as Google Drive, OneDrive or Drop Box (make sure your file is less than 1GB).
Important: please ensure that any links you send us can be accessed by anyone, not just the email recipient, so they can be sent on to Admissions Tutors. Please do not use WeTransfer to send your portfolio as the link will expire.
If you would like to arrange a face-to-face portfolio review and tour, please contact [email protected] (home applications) or [email protected] (international applications).
