Portfolio content

As a potential artist or designer we are interested in how you translate ideas visually for others. If you have some experience of art and design, or you are applying for specialist or higher level courses, you should be able to assemble a portfolio which demonstrates range, experience and potential.

Drawings, paintings, sketches, 3 dimensional models, and photographs - which represent examples of your work - should be copied (preferably onto CD) and packaged carefully for posting. If you are applying for a media based course, a DVD or videotape of examples of your work is also recommended. It is important that your work is well labelled and presented in a clear way.

Background notes on each image should be written so that the person assessing your work can obtain a clear picture of your creative ideas and the range and level of work that you have been producing to date. Please do not send original work as the College cannot be held responsible for the loss of any work sent.

We wish to find out about you as an individual, to learn about your personal interest in art or design and your enthusiasm for the subject.

Sending your work

When you send your portfolio please ensure that it is securely packaged and clearly labelled with your name, address and reference number or UCAS number (if you have applied through the UCAS system)

Please send your work to:

The International Office
University College Falmouth
Woodlane
Falmouth, Cornwall TR11 4RH
UK
