What to expect
This event is open to all students interested in studying a creative undergraduate degree or our Foundation Diploma in Art, Design and Media.
You'll have the opportunity to get expert advice on how to put together a successful portfolio application, with plenty of examples from current students who’ve been there and done it. You'll also hear from our students, academics, and recruitment specialists, all of whom will be there to share their insights and answer any questions you may have.
Additionally, you'll get to tour AUB’s creative campus, exploring the studios and workspaces where you could potentially be studying.
To prepare for the day, please bring with you your portfolio or pieces of work that you'd like guidance on (in digital format ideally – Instagram/website/PDF – or a physical portfolio if preferred) for review in sessions hosted by an academic. Please note: portfolio review sessions will be hosted in groups with a nominated academic from AUB, and won't be individual one-to-one sessions. The academics hosting the review session could be from any of the courses offered at AUB.
