How to make a university portfolio
Your university portfolio is an opportunity to exhibit your best work and show us exactly why you're right for your chosen course. We know that your work is unique, and nobody will know it better than you, but here’s some advice on what to consider, and what we're looking for in your submission.
Your digital portfolio will be a key part of your application to a practice-based undergraduate course in the Nottingham School of Art & Design or the School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment.
